Lake Como License Free Boat Rental Departing from Varenna
Description
Not all rentals are the same. It stands out for one simple reason: we put the Traveler at the center of everything. We start from Varenna, one of the most authentic and photographed lakeside villages in Italy — not from an anonymous port, but from the heart of Lake Como. Boarding is already an experience. The boats are safe, well-kept and easy to drive, even for those who have never sailed. Before leaving, the staff will accompany you with a practical and personal briefing: no manuals to read, no videos. A real person who explains everything to you calmly, until you feel ready. And then you're free. Really free. No imposed itinerary, no Guide that dictates the times. Just you, the lake and the route you choose. Stop for a swim, reach Bellagio or Villa Monastero, or just float and enjoy the view. What we offer is not just a rental — it is the freedom to experience the lake as the locals experience it.

Really top level experience , super Kind and Professional ,the trip is super classy , we saw from water some of the most iconic villas of the Lake , the skipper besides being a very discreet and welcoming person was a very competent and charming tourist guide unveiling many super interesting details about the hystoryof the territory and those villas and families …….enjoying the lake From the lake sipping nice prosecco it is definitely a must that i have to suggest to everyone coming at the Como lake
Thank you so much it was a real pleasure to do this tour with you! I hope to see you soon! Matteo & Angelo
Wonderful experience, the boat was great and arguably larger than other rental vendors, which was great for dealing with the waves on Lake Como. We had little to zero previous boat experience, but the boat was very easy to mannuever. The instructions was somewhat difficult to understand due to limitations in English capabilities of the instructor, however it had minimal impact on our experience. Super smooth booking, access and return process.

I recommend booking the earliest available time. We did 9 am and it was amazing – not too hot, by 11am we were already happy and completed our trip in the calm uncrowded waters. The crew were in touch online, 20 mins to the end of the trip - they asked if we were doing good. 10/10 experience

We had one of the coolest experiences of our lives. The boat was great and ran well and we got plenty of time to visit many spots on the lake, 2 hours was plenty of time. The staff was very helpful and gave us the perfect route. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to see lake como from the water.

What a wonderful experience this was. We took a 1 hour self drive boat rental and it was the highlight of our trip. The operators were extremely helpful and friendly. Will highly recommend to everyone visiting Varenna to book with them.

This was SO COOL! We were apprehensive because we didn’t know if we’d know how to navigate the lake but it was so easy and beautiful and easily the best part of our 12 day trip across Italy in various places. This was by far the coolest thing we did. A lot of Italy is packed with people and tourists (like ourselves) but to have a boat for just us to explore and see more of Lake Como was so incredible. You have to do this!!!

Our guide spoke 0 english, we communicated mostly through body language and required guest on the shore to help translate. Thr teaching process was pretty rushed and We were left unconfident due to language barrier. We also asked for a map and he said its on the boat but we never found it. He later called us claiming its dangerous for us to drive ourselves and offered to provide skipper service which he later charged us extra 50 euro closer to the end of our ride. The boat ride itself was nice and our guide was nice too, but our experience just didn’t match the description here. Language is a big issue and extra charges were never mentioned until the end of the ride.
