Lake Maggiore Boat Tour

Our Capt., Andrea, was as good as it gets. His knowledge of the lake and its history exceeded all expectations. He gave us the best recommendations for restaurants and scenery throughout the day. Excellent safety and professionalism as well.

This is an absolute MUST if you are coming to Lake Maggiore! Andrea was our captain and he was a fantastic tour guide - funny, informative, and efficient (and spoke very good English!). He made sure we did everything we wanted to do and even made us a lunch reservation on Isola dei Pescatori. The boat was also very nice and spacious for 2 people - we booked the Cranchi CSL 27. We learned so much about the history of the lake and got to stop for swimming next to a 15th century castle in a secluded part of the lake. It was absolutely incredible and the highlight of our honeymoon for sure.

Enjoyed visiting all 3 islands, beautiful palace and garden of Bella island, palace of Madre island, finished by excellent meal at Michelin restaurant on fisherman island.

We had the absolute best day on Lake Maggiore with our caption Andrea! The lake is absolutely beautiful and swimmable and Andrea was informative, kind, and flexible with timing due to potential rain in forecast. Would 100% recommend this boat day and say you are missing out if you don’t do while visiting the surrounding towns.

My wife, my son, and I recently took a private boat tour on Lake Maggiore during our trip to Italy, and it was a wonderful experience for our family. We have visited Italy several times over the years, including the Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terre, and we really enjoyed the different atmosphere Lake Maggiore offered. The setting was peaceful, scenic, and a nice change of pace from some of the busier destinations we have visited before. Our captain, Andrea, was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about the lake and surrounding areas. He shared interesting information during the tour and helped create a relaxed and comfortable experience from start to finish. What we appreciated most was that the tour never felt rushed. We had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, take photos, and simply enjoy being on the water together as a family. Andrea’s enthusiasm for the lake and attention to detail made the experience feel personal and enjoyable without being overly formal. We came away with great memories and some fantastic family photos. If you are visiting Lake Maggiore and looking for a relaxing way to experience the area, this tour is definitely worth considering.

We had a fantastic time with Andrea. The weather, and his knowledge and enthusiasm (not to mention his Italian charm) made it a perfect day. We saw the hermitage, Santa Caterina Del Sasso, visited a number of the villages along the coast, circled the three main islands and stopped on Pescatori for lunch, after a swim in the surprisingly (to me, anyway) warm lake. A quick thrash back towards the dock at the end of the day when he opened up the throttle completed it. Highly recommended.

Booked the 4hour tour with Capitan Andrea Parodi on Lake Maggiore and it was absolutely amazing. Andrea was very knowledgeable and answered all questions we had about the lake. He took us to all the spots we wanted to see. Helped us book lunch and took us to an amazing spot to swim. Very impressed with the whole trip. The boat was very nice, catered to all our needs. Andrea made us feel very relaxed the whole trip. Highly recommend the tour!

Andrea our captain was fantastic! We had to adjust the pick up time due to rainy weather, both the company and Andrea were very helpful in accommodating this. We were picked up on a jetty outside our hotel one the rain stopped and Andrea took us to see the beautiful sights on Lake Maggiore. The monastery built into the rock, which you can only appreciate by boat. Stunning! We motored alongside Sestra and went around the three beautiful islands which are magical and have the most beautiful exotic botanical gardens. He told us history of all of the places that we visited and also some background on old Italy and the family who owned much of the area. It was interesting! And also really fun for our teenage children too to go on a lovely boat across the lake, with the most stunning backdrop of mountains. We stopped at Isola Pescatori for lunch at Andrea’s recommended restaurant which was absolutely beautiful. Food was exceptional. Great to moor up on a buoy and have the restaurant boat pick us up for lunch and take us back afterwards! We would have had the opportunity to find swim spots but it wasn’t sunny so we decided to stay dry this time! The whole trip was very memorable trip, a big treat, and so incredible to see everything from the water, and be able to make our own plans without having to wait for ferries or other people. The boat was perfect - comfortable, stylish and well looked after. We were dropped back at our hotel by Andrea on the boat. A great trip and well worth the money .

We had a great experience on our boat tour. The booking process was easy via the webform. Captain Andrea was early for our pickup and could not have been better. We enjoyed a lovely ride to Santa Caterina del Sasso, then a tour around the Borromean Islands, and finally we swam of the coast of Isola Madre. I would highly recommend this boat tour.

The lake is so beautiful! Thanks to our fantastic captain for the amazing tour! Me and my friends enjoyed it so much! The view is absolutely breathtaking. High recommend! 去年看了在马焦雷湖中间贝拉岛的走秀！觉得实在太美了，这次来实地，简直不能更美！我们的私人游船的船长Andrea很棒～ 带我们看了很多景点，讲解也很细致～ 值了～
