wonderful trip on the lake

C352OOnicolab, Mar 2025

My wife and I had an unforgettable four-hour boat tour on Lake Como, and it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we stepped on board, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a beautifully maintained boat. The views were breathtaking—cruising past historic villas, charming villages, and the stunning mountains reflected on the water. To make it even more special, we enjoyed a bottle of champagne on board, which added a romantic and luxurious touch to the experience. Our captain was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. He made sure we had plenty of time to relax, take photos, and soak in the beauty of the lake.

The lake from the boat is something else entirely!

blueroyalcharter, Mar 2025

I must say that the lake seen from the boat has a whole different flavor. The villas, the landscapes, are all much more visible to remember the magic of this enchanted place. Captain Corrado acted as a cicero telling us anecdotes and stories of the lake very interesting and was very kind and professional. I hope to return soon because it is really worth it, thanks guys from Boat Me for the fantastic experience on Lake Como.
