Discover Lake Como with a vintage wooden boat
Live a unique experience to discover the beauties of Lake Como aboard a vintage luxury boat
A story of Wood, water and time
Vintage Wooden Boat was born from an authentic passion for Italian vintage boats and for the profound beauty of Lake Como. Long before the idea of sharing these boats with others, there was the desire to preserve them. Because a wooden boat is not simply a vessel: it is living material, a balance between technique and form, a piece of memory.
Our boats are niche models, among the last remaining examples in their original configurations. They are not modern recreations with a retro aesthetic. They are hulls that have crossed decades, carefully restored with respect, maintaining their proportions, details and character. Every element from the mahogany to the chrome finishes tells a real story.
Bringing them to Lake Como was a natural choice. Here, elegance is never forced; it belongs to the landscape. Historic villas, quiet waters and ever-changing light create a constant dialogue with the polished wood gliding across the lake.
To navigate this way means to slow down. It means experiencing a place with coherence and authenticity, allowing beauty to exist without exaggeration.
