The Charter Experience
Lake Maggiore, Italy's second largest alpine lake, unfolds across dramatic mountain vistas and charming waterfront villages. A day aboard the Riva Aquarama Special transforms this celebrated region into a private maritime playground. Navigate the Borromean Islands, anchor in crystalline bays, or cruise the verdant shoreline between Locarno and the Italian Riviera. The crewed service ensures your focus remains on the moment itself.
Suggested Itinerary
Depart from your chosen Lake Maggiore port and drift towards the Borromean Islands, where the 17th-century Palazzo Borromeo and lush gardens reward a morning's voyage. Break for lunch in a secluded anchorage, utilising the onboard refrigeration and deck amenities, then explore the charming harbours of Cannero Riviera or Verbania before returning as the afternoon light softens across the Alps.
