From the guide

The captain will welcome you on board and you will immediately start relaxing on our comfortable boat.
We will move along the coast and we will have the possibility to see some of the most interesting spots of the lake, out of the crowded area of Como, having some drink as a classic Italian aperitivo.
You can have fun with your friends, put some music, or simply chill and enjoy the stunning landscape and the charm of a relaxing and romantic Lake.
The captain is friendly and open to accommodate you with every possible request.
We like to give to our guests the best experience and let them bring back at home a nice memory of a boat tour on Lake Como.
