The Dolce Vita dream: luxury Riva-style water limousines on Lake Como

To glide across the blue waters of Lake Como is to step into a cinema-like landscape. And to do so, what better way than do it in pure Dolce Vita style? For your private luxury tour on lake Como, we have curated a fleet of exquisite water limousines. Crafted from the finest mahogany, our vessels evoke the allure of classic italian design and Riva boats.

The heritage of the venetian water taxi

The story of the Italian water taxi is one that blends prestige and necessity. Originating in the canals of Venice, these vessels were conceived as the "limousines of the sea". Over decades, this functional mean of transport evolved into an italian design icon.

The venetian style: a masterpiece of wood and detail

A true Venetian-style taxi boat is instantly recognizable by its sleek, low profile and the warm glow of hand-finished wood. These "wooden gems" are defined by their meticulous attention to detail: plush leather seating, chrome accents that catch the sunlight, and a cabin designed for intimate conversation. The seamless blend of a spacious open-air cockpit and a refined, sheltered cabin ensures that guests can enjoy the lake’s breeze or find refuge in climate-controlled luxury, all while surrounded by the unmistakable scent of varnished mahogany.

A cinematic icon: from the red carpet to the silver screen

The silhouette of the water limousine is inseparable from the world of high fashion and cinema. It is the vessel of choice for Hollywood stars arriving at the Venice Film Festival and the preferred transport for icons like James Bond in Casino Royale. When you step aboard, you aren't just renting a boat; you are stepping into a legacy of silver-screen glamour.

Comitti: the pinnacle of venetian excellence

Among the names that define this craft, Comitti is known as being the excellence. Our flagship, Kobe, is a 2023 Comitti masterpiece that represents the very best of the Venetian limousine tradition. Every inch of a Comitti boat reflects a commitment to "Made in Italy" style, featuring wooden finishes and a design that balances vintage charm with modern technological innovation. Choosing a Comitti means choosing elegance and the perfect water limousine to create life-lasting memories on lake Como.
