Stresa: Lake Maggiore and Borromean Islands Sunset Cruise

About this experience

This ticket secures a private place on a one-hour sunset cruise on Lake Maggiore, departing from Piazza Guglielmo Marconi in Stresa. The host's vessel travels along the western shore of the lake, passing the Borromean Islands, the three-island archipelago owned by the Borromeo family since the 17th century. The boat is fitted with a covered interior and an open terrace, making it well suited to couples, small groups, and private gatherings in any weather. Throughout the cruise, a professional skipper navigates the lake while guests enjoy a full aperitif service on board. The host provides prosecco, soft drinks, bruschetta, pizza, and locally sourced products as part of the guided experience. The open terrace offers unobstructed views of the islands and the surrounding Alpine foothills as the light changes at dusk. The ticket covers the private cruise, the skipper, and all food and drink included in the aperitif package. The cruise does not have wheelchair access, and the cancellation policy is non-refundable, so guests should confirm their date carefully at the time of booking. Vehicles are not sold through this listing. Any vehicle used during the experience is supplied by the operator and returned at the end.
