Great time!

We had a great time. We did the 2 hrs trip, which allowed a loop from Laglio almost down to Como and back. Boat was great.

Boating

Great communication and punctuality. We were able to easy drive the boat and had great direction from our sweet contact Thomas. It was not clear to me that we were going to be charged for fuel, so something to keep in mind for future bookers. The water was very choppy, and the boat was small and not very fast, so splashing did occur. Overall we had a wonderful time and loved our experience!

Fun summer adventure

We had so much fun!! The lady we met with when picking up and dropping off boat was Ava or Eva. She was so sweet and a breath of fresh air! She showed us very kindly how to operate the boat and this was the most fun we had on our whole trip! Worth every penny

An amazing boat trip on the Lago di Como!

This is a very safe and trusted way to enjoy a small boat trip on the lake. The instructions are given by the host right before the drive. The boat is clean and modern. We recommend it!

Late and felt ripped off

We rented a boat self drive around Lake Como. We were very disappointed by the service we received. The boat was 20 minutes late and did not know we were coming. The website also said that there were no hidden costs yet when we disembarked we were told we needed to pay 30 Euros for fuel. We only got 50mins on the boat despite paying over 100 Euros for an hour trip due to the service running late. To be honest I wouldn’t recommend. The actual boat was great and a fun experience. Just very disappointed with the service provided.

Super

Everything was great! Punctual, nice and we had a lot of fun. It's a shame an hour was too short. Two hours would be better.
