Description

We are a locally owned boat charter company based on the stunning shores of Lake Como, offering exclusive and tailorable boat tours designed to reveal the true essence of this world-famous destination. What sets us apart is simple: our captains are locals. Born and raised around the lake, they don’t just navigate the waters—they know them. Every tour becomes a journey through hidden corners, untold stories, and authentic experiences that most visitors never get to see. Your tours go beyond the typical sightseeing routes. While we of course pass by iconic villas and picturesque villages, our real value lies in what lies between these landmarks. Quiet coves, lesser-known viewpoints, secret swimming spots, and charming lakeside locations—these are the places only a local would think to show you.
