21 JULY 2024
Villa d’Este and Lake Como will once again celebrate the highest level of hospitality and the classic yachting tradition in an exclusive rendezvous dedicated to vintage wooden boats.
This is one of the most prestigious events devoted to the fascinating world of vintage and classic boats, where style, elegance, and tradition meet.
After the successful edition of 2023, “Villa d’Este Style – Vintage Yachting” will return in 2024 to celebrate the best products of the historic wooden boat tradition, uniting savoir-faire and lifestyle during a unique event. A robust cultural aspect will also be present, thanks to the cooperation with ASDEC (Associazione Scafi d’Epoca e Classici – Registro Storico Nautico), Italy’s historic register whose aim is to preserve and pass on the interest in this kind of boat to the next generations.
Villa d’Este itself owns the “Vaporina Cranchi” (a typical wooden boat dating from 1960), the “Abbate Villa d’Este Super” (dating from 1961), and a “Lucia” (the Lake Como traditional boat dating from 1971, built by “Cantiere Ernesto Riva” in Laglio). These unique and special boats are also included in the ASDEC Nautical Historical Register.
“Villa d’Este Style – Vintage Yachting” is an unmissable event that will allow you to live a unique experience. Immerse yourself in the magic of Villa d’Este’s atmosphere and admire classic wooden runabouts, true nautical masterpieces of the 20th century.
