Party-spirited 2-hour speedboat on Lake Como with an open bar, villa views, and swim stops near Argegno, Nesso, and Comacina.
“Coolest and most friendliest boat tour. Had the best Captains, with no judgement on the amount of Prosecco consumed. Made friends with others on the boat tour and continued the party with a dinner all together, at the expense of the crew making such a fun environment. Great music, great company (both staff and not staff), and phenomenal views. Not to mention the boat ITSELF - absolutely stunning. We were able to stop off at a little island to enjoy Prosecco and jump into the fresh lake. Highly recommend this to anyone travelling to Como - it’s especially nicer up in Agregno.”
