Experience the Borromean Islands on Lake Maggiore privately from the water: Isola Bella, Isola dei Pescatori and Isola Madre glide by at your own pace – no ferry crowds, no queues.
Aboard our traditional gaff cutter it's just you and your guests, while the skipper shares stories of palaces and gardens. One fixed price for the whole group, free rebooking in bad weather.
This boat tour to the Borromean Islands is the perfect start to your day—calm, impressive, and full of lasting images. From the harbor in Laveno-Mombello, we sail on the east shore across Lake Maggiore towards the west shore to the three arguably most beautiful islands of the lake: the elegant Isola Bella, the lively Isola Superiore dei Pescatori, and the green Isola Madre. No hustle, completely relaxed from the comfort of the boat—no need to get on and off at every stop. Your skipper will share fascinating stories along the way: about the history of the islands, the villas, the gardens, and the people who shaped them. As you lean back, you will collect memories that last.

«A wonderful boat tour on a unique sailing boat on Lake Maggiore. We got to know the lake from completely different perspectives. It's also worth highlighting that the tour could be rescheduled at short notice due to a spell of bad weather, and we were ultimately able to enjoy the trip in the best weather. The crew was thoroughly likeable and made a great effort. We can only recommend the trip to everyone.»
