    An unforgettable experience on Lake Maggiore! The boat was beautiful, elegant, and super comfortable. The excursion was perfectly balanced between a scenic tour, visits to the most beautiful spots, and a few dips in the water. Special thanks to Alberto, our skipper, who was brilliant and incredibly professional: he immediately made us feel at ease and knew how to make the experience truly unique. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!

    Alberto made our day memorable! The boat is ideal for group events. Alberto delighted us with his good humor, his availability, his kindness + his knowledge of great spots (especially the Borromean Islands). I highly recommend him!

    What a great day we had from start to finish. There was 23 of us who had such a great time for a joint stag and hen do! The driver Nicolas was amazing, took us to the island we wanted and let us get out to explore, swim and have fun! Would recommend using - great experience - thanks again Nicolas and Alberto :)

    Exceptional customer experience by Alberto. I was a little nervous booking because I didn’t speak Italian. But Alberto spoke English and provided a great tour of the lake. Booked for an entire day. Alberto was flexible and parking was a breeze. I highly recommend booking your next trip with Alberto. Extremely professional, punctual and very knowledgeable of the area.

    Er are a family of 10 people and did a day trip with Alberto. Everything was absolutely perfect! The communication was great, we drove a beautiful route and we even did a spontaneous stop in Stresa. We felt very comfortable on the boat and we couldn’t have asked for a better captain. I can 100% recommend a trip with Alberto, it’s a great experience!

He is a great skipper, genuine care and concern to our needs my mother needed assistance on and off the boat he was very helpful.

    We really enjoyed our trip on the boat! We organized a Bachelorette Party for our friend and it was an awesome experience with a lot of fun! Alberto is a great host and captain - very responsive, open and kind! He brought us around to see very beautiful landmarks and to swim in nice areas. We highly recommend it to everyone and we would love to repeat it again. Lago Maggiore is an extremely beautiful place and our boat trip was one of the best experiences of our trip in Italy!

    Alberto is such a good skipper. We were on the boat with him for 2 hours and had a very good time. As a tourist guide, he knows a lot about Largo Maggiore and the islands and towns around the lake. He replies to messages super fast. I can highly recommend Alberto and his boat.
