A crazy Boat Party combined with the most beautiful sailing experience on Lake Como, a modern 33-foot boat of great charm and power. The boat always has 2 crew members, one for the guide, and one to assist guests. The highlight is the open bar service with only high quality products, not a single glass of wine, but bottles of Prosecco in elegant baskets. You can, in total safety, swim in the lake. An elegant and exclusive boat party where you can meet festive people like you. We are waiting for you to party with loud music for a unique experience but without excess. From Argegno, we will slowly begin to sail towards the Comacina island, passing the villages of Colonno and Sala Comacina, we will stop in the island canal, in front of the village of Ossuccio. Before returning we will pass in front of Villa Balbianello, Villa Cassinella and Villa Balbiano, and then return to Argegno.

    Good value that could use more professionalism

    This was the best priced boat tour we found, and overall we had an amazing time! Our guide was fun, we got to see the beautiful villas from the lake, we got to swim in Lake Como, and we were paired with an amazing group of travelers who we have become very good friends with! That said, there were a couple of things that could have been handled better. The company changed our booking time without notifying us far in advance and without explanation beyond basically saying, they are busy and this new time is the only time they can give me now, even though I booked months in advance. We were also a little surprised when the guide “cut the whole group off” from drinking after two of the girls screamed when they were unexpectedly splashed with water, saying it had become a security issue. We completely understand prioritizing safety, but the reaction felt a bit excessive given the situation. Overall… it was a really fun experience and a great value for the price. We’re glad we did it and made some incredible memories, but the communication and professionalism could definitely use some improvements.

    BEST day of my life

    It was very easy to find the pickup point where we were warmly welcomed by the wonderful crew. It was smooth sailing from there, lots of champagne, great vibes & the crew was attentive to everything. The tour was so beautiful it changed my life. I will remember Simon, Giancarlo and Omar for the rest of my life - those are our new best friends forever. UNFORGETTABLE!

    BOOK THIS! You won’t regret it!

    This goes so far beyond a tour it’s incredible, it felt like sailing out onto lake Como with the coolest family friends you could possibly imagine, and became the absolute highlight of our buddies trip! Omar the captain is one of the warmest most hilarious dudes i’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. He brings you in immediately and makes you feel like one of the family. His wife and son are incredible shipmates and made sure our cups were never empty and the party never stopped. I asked Omar how he likes his job and he said “…what job?!” That’s when you know it’s gonna be good! Grazie mille Omar and family!!

    Roma set up a great...

    Roma set up a great experience for everyone on the boat and took great care of us throughout our time. He was very flexible in what we wanted to do and see, so it never felt like there was a rigid schedule.

    Boat Party on Lake Como - Open Bar: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lake Como.

    How much does Boat Party on Lake Como - Open Bar cost?

    +

    Prices start at $159 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lake Como usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Boat Party on Lake Como - Open Bar take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lake Como is not rushed.

    Is Boat Party on Lake Como - Open Bar worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 142 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Lake Como, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Boat Party on Lake Como - Open Bar?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Boat Party on Lake Como - Open Bar suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Boat Party on Lake Como - Open Bar?

    +

    Around 50 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lake Como can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lake Como and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Boat Party on Lake Como - Open Bar start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lake Como within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lake Como?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lake Como experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small Group Lake Como, Bellagio and Varenna Day Trip from Milan, Lake Como Private Wooden Boat Tour & Italian Glamour, Ghisallo Pilgrimage - Road and E-bike Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lake Como?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lake Como?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Boat Party on Lake Como - Open Bar?

    +

    Included: Beach towel; Rest stop for swimming at Isola Comacina; Alcoholic beverages; and Panoramic boat tour among the historic villas of Lake Como and the waterfalls. Not included: Super spirits, beer and mixes not provided. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Boat Party on Lake Como - Open Bar?

    +

    We will meet in Piazza Giovanni Grandi in Argegno in front of the church at least 30 minutes before your experience. Once you reach the meeting point, send a WhatsApp message or call and we will open a gate for you. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
