Lake Como
Mahogany and chrome, the most beautiful runabout ever built, kept for a single golden afternoon on Como.
A lovingly restored 1960s Aquarama, all hand-laid mahogany and turquoise leather, on standby at Cernobbio. She is a day boat in the purest sense: a few unhurried hours criss-crossing the lake between the great villas, a swim off the back, an aperitivo as the light drops behind the mountains.
