For couples who value exceptional wedding photos, or an after-wedding or engagement shoot with water, mountains, and islands in the background, our boat tour is the perfect choice. Duration: 3, 4 or 7 hours of exclusive boat rental for your shoot, with a route flexible to light and wind conditions. Photo hotspots: Panorama of the Borromean Islands, the promenade of Stresa, cliffs and bays toward Baveno or Verbania, and historical villas as a scenic backdrop.

Aboard the »Striga Constanze« you sail on a replica of a Northern European working boat from the early 1900s. A boat with character, history and comfort. The perfect setting for your cruise on Lake Maggiore.
Built in 1979 by Baumgartner Shipworks in Hamburg, with a GRP and wood hull. Last restored in 2021, with a second refit in 2026. An experienced skipper is on board for every tour.
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.»
