How do I choose between the experiences in Nesso?

Decide first whether you want to be a passenger or the driver. Guided options such as the villas and Bellagio boat tour suit first-time visitors who want commentary, while self-drive rentals without a license let you set your own route and swim stops.

Do I need a boat license for the self-drive rentals in Nesso?

No. The self-drive boat rentals listed for Lake Como are designed for use without a license, so you can captain the boat yourself after a short briefing from the operator. You will be shown the controls, the permitted cruising area and safety rules before setting off.

About Nesso

Nesso clings to the steep shore where the Pesa and Nosée streams meet Lake Como, and its medieval Civera bridge and the Orrido gorge give the village a drama that bigger lakeside towns lack. From here the water is the main stage, whether you join the Lake Como: Villas, Bellagio & Scenic Highlights Boat Tour to see the famous villas and gardens from the lake, or take the wheel yourself with the Lake Como Self-Drive Boat Rental Without a License and explore the shoreline at your own pace.

Frequently asked questions

Nesso is a small village and boat departures are limited, so book as early as you can, especially for weekends and the June to September high season. Sunset cruises and private tours have the smallest capacity and often sell out first.
