One boat, one captain, *your people.* Nobody else on board, no fixed route: the lake the way you want to see it.
The place
A family, a boat and the lake.
01
We are not a taxi, not a rental, not a shared boat.
Penna is a family business from Carate Urio, on the western shore of the first basin. One classic motorboat, a Cranchi Derby 700, and Bruno at the wheel.
You choose how long, he suggests what's worth seeing that day.
02
One price, the real one.
The price is for the whole boat. From 5 guests it is never more than €49 per person per hour, and never more than the whole boat. The only extra is the pier supplement when we pick you up far from Carate Urio, written next to the price and paid on board.
Nothing to pay now: you write on WhatsApp, Bruno confirms the time, you pay on board.
03
We pick you up where you are.
From Carate Urio, Moltrasio, Cernobbio, Torno, Laglio and Brienno the pick-up is included. From Como and the centre of the lake there is a small supplement for the fuel it takes to reach you. Staying in a hotel with its own dock? Tell us: where it is allowed, we come to you.

“Bruno was very nice and patient with us. He knew a lot about the area and was flexible with our schedule. Definitely worth the money compared to the other boat tours in the area.”“We contacted Bruno via WhatsApp and he reacted almost immediately. He adapted the tour for our needs and picked us up close to our holiday home.”“We did the 3-hour tour to Bellagio with a stop for a swim in a beautiful spot. Bruno was always attentive and gave us great tips.”Departures
