5.00Had a great hour on the lake, the owner met us by the pier and gave instructions before we headed out on the water. The boat was in good condition and the price was excellent for hire in the centre of Como. Definitely recommend

5.00Such a gorgeous evening! We hired a boat with Piere on Saturday, and we was running a little late but Piere kindly had no issue with delaying our trip by half an hour so we could make our trip on time! Piere was super lovely and very easy to contact and provided more than enough information about the boat and how to run on our own!!! Would definitely recommend! Nothing but good words to say about our trip 🥰🥰🥰

5.00We booked an hour and it was amazing ,obviously didn’t get that far up the lake but wasn’t expecting to. you’d need a good 3/4 hours at least to get further up. Boat was gorgeous. Pier was amazing he texted before to meet us and tell us how the boat worked and also gave us an extra 15 minutes due to weather conditions and having to go a bit slower, which I thought was really considerate. Great experience definitely worth doing it even if you only do an hour.
Enjoy a trip on the lake in Pier’s boat 🚤

5.00Fab experience, driving around Lake Como. Would 100% recommend, all communication was done via What’s App. Boat arrived on time. Great instructions from Pier on how to use the boat and how navigate the lake. It can get choppy when bigger boats go past, but it’s fun 😎😎

5.00This was a great excursion. We rented a boat for two hours to tour Lake Como, with Breva Boat Tours Como. We met Pier at the side of the harbour, and he gave us all the instructions we needed. The boat was clean and in good working order. Pier gave us the location of a place we could swim which was fantastic. Lake Como is beautiful! Would definitely recommend this if you want a private boat for a few hours.
