Half-day private cruise with Nesso, Comacina, Balbianello and Bellagio + Varenna visit.

4 hours

Easy

A balanced 4-hour itinerary: the mid-lake classics plus Bellagio and Varenna short stop, with photo moments and an optional swim.

Four hours unlock a wider arc: the gorge and waterfall at Orrido di Nesso, the storybook Isola Comacina, the iconic Villa del Balbianello, and a walk through the charming streets of Bellagio and vibrant Varenna. Your skipper adjusts pace for photos, a brief swim at the Isola Comacina (conditions permitting), and a short Bellagio + Varenna stop.
This is the sweet spot for couples, families, and small groups seeking premium yet uncomplicated: instant confirmation, fuel for the standard route included, and a local captain who knows when the light is best.
