Super easy rental on Lake Como. It was nice to be able to drive the boat ourselves and do what we wanted to do. Felippo was very personable and took the time to show us the boat. Would definitely recommend doing this, I only wish we had reserved it for longer!

We rented a boat for an hour, and it was absolutely amazing! The tour operator was super friendly and patient — they took about 10–15 minutes to explain how to drive the boat and make sure we felt comfortable before heading out. After that, my friend and I spent an incredible hour cruising around Lake Como, enjoying the stunning views and the freedom of being out on the water. Everything went smoothly, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Lake Como!

This agency cares only about money. Be very careful: after the operator cancelled my booking due to weather, they asked me to try another date, then treated circumstances outside my control as a “no-show” and used my messages against me to avoid issuing a at least partial refund.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Dear Petro, Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify the facts of this reservation to provide a transparent overview for our future guests, as our internal chat completely confirms our absolute good faith.When torrential rain affected your original Friday booking, we immediately protected your investment by offering a free reschedule to Saturday at 11:30 AM, which you officially accepted and confirmed. Based on your confirmation, we prepared the vessel and turned down other rental requests for that specific Saturday slot.Requesting a cancellation just one hour before departure—after changing versions from not being able to return from Milan to a sudden illness—constitutes a strict 'no-show' under standard tourism policies. No business can re-book a private boat with a 60-minute notice, resulting in a direct financial loss for our staff and company. Despite this being a clear no-show, our team remained highly empathetic: we officially offered you a complimentary voucher for a free extra hour for your next trip to Lake Como, and we openly agreed to discuss a partial refund regarding the unused fuel cost.We always prioritize customer satisfaction and flexibility, but we must also protect our operations when confirmed slots are cancelled at the very last minute. We still wish your partner a speedy recovery.

Great trip, well worth...

Great trip, well worth it. Fantastic guide to show us how to use the boat, would definitely recommend it.

Awesome time boating Como!

Joey_T, Jul 2026

We had an awesome time boating on Lake Como! The crew met us at the dock, gave us an informative tutorial on how to operate the boat, and set us off to explore on our own. Two hours was plenty of time to see some of the best views from the lake. Returning the boat was also quick and simple. If you're on the fence to book this excursion, just do it!

Great experience

Holly_W, Jul 2026

Great experience, definitely worth a try if in Como. The lake was very busy but our guide was accommodating and working hard to navigate the chaos. Be aware that timings might be slightly off depending how long it takes to dock. May be best to go out early in the morning to avoid a backlog.

Varun_G, Apr 2026

The boat was clean and problem-free, offering us a fantastic private experience on Lake Como where we could be our own captains. Andrea, our host, was friendly and reminded me when I was too far out and exceeding my time limit. Thank you, Andrea, for your patience and for a superb time on the lake! 🚤⚓️ #Boat #Lake #Fun #Captain #Patience #Time

Exceptional

omar_e, Aug 2025

Such an amazing experience. Boating around the lake is a dream. The staff are amazing and so helpful. Before this i had no experience driving a boat but it was easy. We have done 2 hours which was nice however i recommend not less than 3 hours as its a slow boat. But overall its totally worth it

Wonderful experience

Georgina_D, Aug 2025

Such a wonderful way to end our trip to the lakes. Easy booking, great communication and staff were so friendly. Thoroughly recommend. I would say book 3 hours if you can for a more relaxed, slow paced trip. We did 2 hours and whilst it was amazing I would have loved a bit longer.

Lake Como by Boat: Pure Fun and Gorgeous Views!

Kelly_D, Jul 2025

Renting a boat on Lake Como through Viator was amazing. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the map made it easy to find highlights like Bellagio and swimming spots. Seeing the colorful houses along the mountainside was like being in a postcard. The only downside was the ladder—it was too small for my husband to get back on the boat easily. Otherwise, a fantastic way to experience Como!

Amazing day on Lake Como!!

Brett_A, Jul 2025

Amazing experience. Boat worked great and very clean/prepared. Easily added an extra hour to our trip on arrival with no hassle. Hosts were ready at the dock and very clear and informative with the instructions for the boat and rules of the lake. Such a great time. Highly recommend for a more personal and immersive experience.

Wonderful Experience - do research on how to get to Como if staying elsewhere

Julian_L, Jul 2025

Amazing experience, definitely the highlight of our stay on Lake Como. Our renter was very accommodating, and everything in terms of the boat ride went smoothly. If you are staying anywhere other than in Como (Bellagio, Varenna, etc.) make sure to do some research on how you would get to Como, it’s not as easy as just taking the ferry. We took the C30 bus from Bellagio Lido to Como Nord Lago, which departed at 7am for our convenience.

Boat Rent 2h
