About Lariva

Lake Como, shown by the people who live it.

We were raised on these shores. Every bay, every villa, every quiet trattoria — we know them first-hand. That's what makes a day with Lariva feel less like a tour and more like time on the water with a local friend.

Our approach

Lariva started from a single conviction: a day on Lake Como should be built around the people on board, not the other way round. No fixed schedules, no crowded group cruises — just a private boat, a skipper who speaks your language, and the freedom to shape the day as you go.

Today we host travellers from across the world — couples, families, friends — and we take real pride in the experiences they take home.

Dock in Cernobbio

Our home dock sits in Cernobbio, just steps from Villa d'Este and the elegant lower basin of the lake.

Pickup in Cernobbio or Como

Staying in Cernobbio or in the city of Como? We'll collect you directly from your hotel or villa dock.

English-speaking skippers

Our skippers are fluent in English and know the lake's hidden corners — built for international guests.

Bespoke as standard

We don't sell seats — we design days. Tell us what you love and we'll shape the route, the stops and the pace around it.
