Every tour is private and priced per boat, not per person: the rate depends on duration, pick-up point and extras. You see the exact price instantly in our online booking — choose date and duration and the total appears before you pay. If you prefer, message us on WhatsApp and we will confirm availability.
We board in Como, Cernobbio, Bellagio, Menaggio, Varenna and at many hotels with private jetties. If you are unsure where to start, we recommend the best option based on your chosen itinerary.
Yes, a private skipper is included in every tour. He speaks Italian and English and knows the shores, jetties and timings of every itinerary well.
Each boat carries up to 11 guests plus the skipper. For larger groups we arrange convoys with multiple boats.
Children are welcome; life jackets are available for all sizes. Pets are usually allowed on covered decks, but please tell us when booking.
Of course. We bring water, ice and towels. On request we prepare a hamper with sparkling wine, cheese and charcuterie, or we can stop at a restaurant with a jetty.
