We are a family-run business based in Moltrasio, born from the desire to share the beauty of Lake Como through an authentic, intimate way of cruising that’s different from mass tourism. For us, a boat is not simply a means of transportation, but a key to unlocking the history, elegance, and secrets of Lake Como. This quality has also been recognized by the film industry: our mahogany boats and our captains were chosen to appear in the movie *The Devil Wears Prada 2*, bringing the charm of Lake Como to the big screen for an international audience. Every outing is a small, tailor-made journey, into which we pour care, attention to detail, and a deep knowledge of a region that is also our home. We’ve been working with Italian and international clients for years, gradually developing a distinctive approach that combines quality service, a warm, family-like atmosphere, and respect for the traditions of the Lake Como region.
The fleet is the heart of our business and immediately conveys who we are. It consists of classic Italian mahogany boats, named in memory of our family—Anna, Roberta, Marta—and new Marinello boats, powered by 40-cavalli engines and designed for self-drive charters. Every boat is meticulously maintained down to the smallest detail: leather seats, a sun deck at the stern, a refrigerator with water on board, a Bluetooth system, a retractable canopy, and heating for cruising during cooler seasons. Each boat follows a precise maintenance schedule to ensure that the quality evident on the surface matches the care given to the engine and hull.

Our captains are true lake people. They know every cove, every shift in light, every spot worth slowing down at to admire a villa or listen to the silence. They speak Italian and English and are at ease with guests from all over the world, always maintaining that friendly and discreet tone that is the hallmark of our family-run business.
They do more than just steer the boat: they tell stories, suggest itineraries, and propose unscheduled stops when lake conditions allow. They are guides in the fullest sense of the word, and every journey they take you on is, in a way, their own as well.
For us, experiencing the lake means, first and foremost, respecting its traditions. That’s why we’ve chosen to build our fleet around classic wooden boats—icons of style that evoke the charm of la Dolce Vita and the voyages of yesteryear.
Each tour is designed for those seeking artisanal quality, the warmth of natural materials, and a leisurely pace—far from the crowds on packed ferries and shuttle boats that all look the same. For us, wood is not just a passing aesthetic choice: it’s a way of understanding the lake, treating it with care, and conveying its value to those who come aboard.
A scenic tour among historic villas, a sunset aperitif in the middle of the lake, or a dinner cruise to arrive at your dining destination by water: every proposal stems from a conversation with you and is tailored to your requests.
Our captains are not only expert navigators, but also passionate guides with detailed knowledge of the anecdotes surrounding Villa del Balbianello, Villa Oleandra, and the most picturesque villages like Nesso and Bellagio. They’re ready to recommend the best route, suggest an unexpected stop, or simply let you enjoy the silence of the lake, depending on how you want to spend your day.
