Start your Lake Como experience closer to you.
You can request a departure from Como, Carate Urio, Cernobbio, Laglio, Torno, Blevio or Argegno for both self-drive boat rental and private boat tours with a skipper.
Tell us your preferred town or hotel when you enquire. We confirm the exact boarding point, boat availability, return arrangements and any transfer charges before booking. Your route and cruising times are adapted to the agreed departure location.
Before you step aboard.
You may bring your own drinks. Food is generally not permitted aboard private tours. Drinks available on board and included in the price depend on the package you choose.
Children are welcome. Include children in your total group size when you enquire. Pets require prior approval: tell us the type of animal and, for a dog, its breed and size, so we can confirm acceptance for your boat.
Swimming is possible when the location and conditions are suitable. Agree any swimming stop with your skipper within your booked programme and duration.
