Full description
How about turning an ordinary day into an adventure fit for real captains?
In Como (CO), a nimble 40 CV inflatable boat awaits you, perfect for gliding through sapphire-blue waters, past majestic historic villas and picturesque bays – even without a boat licence. On board, you’ll find every comfort: a sun awning, spacious sun decks and a navigation kit.
You can choose between a 4-hour or 8-hour package and explore the lake in complete freedom!
What we will do
Please arrive 20 minutes before the scheduled time at the meeting point in Como (CO). Here, the rental company will hand over the inflatable boat to you and, during a comprehensive briefing, explain everything you need to know about operating it and the safety regulations for boating.
The inflatable boats available ( the 4. 70 m Arimar or 4. 80 m Marylin models) are fitted with a 40 CV engine, can be operated without a licence and are ideal for groups of up to 8 people. On board you’ll find a handy sun awning, safety equipment, a satellite GPS to help you find your way with ease and, on the Arimar model, a stereo system too. Don’t forget to bring your cool bag with food and drinks for an aperitif out at sea!
Once the engines are running, you’ll be in charge of the route: you can sail towards the famous Villa del Balbianello, admire Bellagio’s historic villas from the best vantage point, or drop anchor in a quiet cove for a refreshing dip and a spot of relaxation in the sun.
At the end of the hire, you’ll need to return to the meeting point. When booking, you can choose between 4 and 8 hours’ hire (half-day or full day).
