Very Disappointing Experience – Unprofessional and Rude Staff

On the morning of our booking, we received a message informing us that there would be a 20–30 minute delay due to a busy port. However, in the end, we received our boat almost one hour later than the booked time, which significantly affected our schedule for the day. The introduction was given in very broken English, making it difficult to understand the instructions. On top of that, the boat was quite dirty, both inside and outside. Unfortunately, the experience became even worse when we returned the boat. Another boat from the same company almost crashed into ours. The other boat came extremely close to ours, and the staff member inspecting our boat immediately started shouting at me and behaving in an extremely rude and unprofessional manner. The two employees were then speaking to each other in Italian, and our staff member claimed that the boat and engine were probably damaged and that we would have to pay for the damage. Only after the other employee confirmed that there was no damage did the situation calm down. Despite the way I had been treated, the staff member did not apologize or even say goodbye. It was nice to spend the day on Lake Como, but unfortunately, the overall experience with this company was very disappointing. The staff were rude and unprofessional, and the delayed start, poor condition of the boat, and unpleasant return process made the experience far from enjoyable. Also, be aware that fuel is charged separately at €25 per hour of rental, which is an additional cost to consider when booking. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this company.

An unforgettable experience

An unforgettable experience. Good value, and Matteo who met us was friendly and helpful. The evening we went, the lake was particularly choppy, making it initially quite hard to steer, though it calmed down once we were some distance beyond Como city itself, and we found our stride. A beautiful way to see the beautiful lake, and pinpoint where you're staying and all the places you've been.

It was the first time I sailed with sun boat, it was just fantastic. I got clear and simple explanations and instructions, the rest went by itself. Definitely worth repeating!

Not bad

Not bad but 1 hour is too short, I recommend a little more in order to enjoy it. Warning ⚠️ unpleasant surprise upon our arrival, we had to pay 25 euros extra for fuel... Not cool.... Yes, the staff is super welcoming!

Operator response

Dear Ingrid, Thank you for your review and for your kind words about our team! 🤩 We're sorry the fuel charge came as a surprise. It is not a hidden fee, but a standard operational cost that is clearly stated throughout the booking process, including on your ticket. We're also sorry that one hour felt too short to fully enjoy the experience. Lake Como has so much to discover! We'd be delighted to welcome you back in the future, and next time we recommend booking a little longer so you can relax and make the most of your time on the lake. 🥰 We hope to see you again soon! 🍀 Shusciu Nautical Division

Cool.

Very friendly, however it was not very clear that we had to pay on-site in addition to the reservation, 25 euros per hour for the boat fuel.

Would recommend, professional and friendly

We got to meet the boat guy after a quick chat via whatsapp and a call from him. He was kind and friendly. We set up the contract and payed the rest off our bill. No extra unwanted charges. He gave us a short explanation and off we got. We got stopped by the police by boat shortly after departure. Quite exiting, but everything was good, so great reassurance that this provider is legal in operation. We had a great time on the water. I recommend it. The offer was Cheaper than the rest of the competitors in como, but there are a few cheaper options around the lake.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're glad everything went smoothly, from the booking process to your day on the water. Providing a safe and enjoyable experience is always our goal. We hope to see you again soon for another day on the lake. Wish you all the best, Shusciu Nautical Division

This was a great short...

This was a great short boat ride! We were able to go find a cove and go swimming! The boat was nice and was a decent speed. I would say that leaving and docking was a bit hard just because there were so many boats at the same time. Other than that it was awesome!

Operator response

Thank you for your lovely review! We're glad you enjoyed the boat and your swim in the lake. We appreciate your note about the docking area during peak times it can get a little busy, and we always do our best to help our guests navigate safely. We hope your next visit will be even more enjoyable, and we'd love to welcome you back soon. Wish you all the best, Shusciu Nautical Division
