Bachelorette & Stag Party on Lake Como: the Boat Is Yours, So Is the Playlist
Tailor-made
from 2 hour · Prices are per boat (up to 6 guests) — not per person.
The bride wants photographs she will actually keep, the group wants a drink in their hand and nobody wants to queue for a ferry. So we hand you the whole boat: your own skipper, your own playlist through the speakers, cold bottles in the bucket, and a lake that looks unreasonably good in every photo. Two hours or five, morning or last light — you tell us what the day is meant to feel like and we build the route around it.
Your boat, your music, nobody else
This is a private charter, not a shared cruise. There is no other group on board, no fixed schedule to keep, nobody asking you to keep it down. Connect a phone to the boat's system and the playlist is yours for the whole trip — and yes, everyone has an opinion about it, that is part of the fun.
Prosecco travels with us, cold, along with water and plenty of ice. If the group wants something specific — a Franciacorta, a magnum for the toast, a bottle the bride has been talking about for weeks — tell us in advance and it will be waiting on board.
Your skipper knows when to be part of the party and when to disappear behind the wheel. Nobody has to stay sober to drive, and nobody has to navigate.
Up to six of you — and that is the honest number
The boat carries six guests plus the skipper. Six is perfect for the bride and her closest friends, and it is the reason the day feels like a private party rather than a coach trip.
If your group is larger, say so when you write: for eight or ten we can run two consecutive slots, or put you in touch with a second boat leaving at the same time so everyone is on the water together. What we will never do is squeeze ten people onto a boat licensed for six.
The price is per boat, not per person, so a group of six costs the same as a group of three — which usually makes the split very comfortable.
The route everyone photographs
Villa del Balbianello on its peninsula, the Isola Comacina, Villa Carlotta, the pastel houses of the villages stacked above the water. We cut the engine in a quiet bay so the group can swim, jump off the back, and float about with a glass in hand — this is the part that ends up in everyone's stories.
We can stop at a village for a photo session on the water steps, or pull in at a lakeside bar for the aperitivo. The last hour before sunset is the one photographers fight over: the mountains turn warm and everybody looks better than they did an hour earlier.
If you want the bride surprised at a specific point — a bottle opened in front of the villa, the group singing on cue — tell us and we will time it.
Where you set sail
We pick you up anywhere on Lake Como — choose the dock nearest you or your hotel and we’ll be there to welcome you aboard.
Tell us what you are planning
This one is arranged over WhatsApp rather than booked with a click. Hen and stag days have moving parts — a dinner reservation to make afterwards, a surprise to time, a group that grows by two people the week before — and a five-minute conversation settles all of it better than a booking form.
Write to us with your dates, how many you are and roughly what you have in mind. We answer quickly, in English or Italian, with what is possible and exactly what it costs — one message, no obligation.
We pick up at any dock on Lake Como, or at your hotel's own pier. Summer Saturdays go first, so if the date is fixed, write early.
Frequently asked questions
How many people can come?+
Up to 6 guests plus your skipper. For larger groups we can run two consecutive departures or arrange a second boat alongside ours, so tell us your real number and we will make it work.
Can we play our own music?+
Yes — connect a phone to the boat's sound system and the playlist is yours for the whole trip. It is a private boat, so the volume is your business, within the limits of common sense near the villages.
How much does it cost?+
It depends on how long you stay out, the season and what you would like on board, so we quote it in a message rather than posting one figure. The price is always per boat and never per person — a group of six pays what a group of two pays.
Can we bring our own drinks, cake or decorations?+
Absolutely. Bring what you like — cake, a banner, whatever the group has planned — and we will help you get it aboard and keep it cold. Prosecco, water and ice come from us.
Is there a toilet on board?+
Yes, there is a proper cabin with a toilet below deck, which matters more than people think on a two- or three-hour trip with a group.
Can we swim?+
Yes, and you should. We stop in a calm bay away from the traffic, with a ladder off the back. Bring a swimsuit and a towel — the lake in summer is warmer than most people expect.
What if the weather turns?+
We watch the forecast with you and move the day at no cost, or refund you in full if nothing else works during your stay. Nobody enjoys a hen party in the rain.
Tell us the date, how many you are and what the day should feel like — we will answer with everything that is possible on the lake.
