About this tour

The Borromean Islands are the heart of every family round trip: Isola Bella, Isola dei Pescatori and Isola Madre. The tour starts from Laveno-Mombello, Brebbia, Feriolo, Cannero or Cannobio. We cruise gently past all three islands – Isola Madre with its gardens and free-roaming peacocks, Isola Bella with its magnificent palace and terraced gardens and the picturesque fishing village of Isola dei Pescatori. All from the boat, without going ashore. Fundamentally no shore visit is planned. Anyone who wishes to go ashore – for a restaurant visit, for example – books 7 hours and arranges the stop individually with us. Our crew gives short, easy-to-understand explanations instead of long historical lectures – a real highlight for families with children.

What our delighted guests say

Find out why our guests call our boat tour the highlight of their holiday.

«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.»
