“Incredible morning aboard a beautiful boat - We had an amazing morning with Giovanni onboard his Boston Whaler in Lake Como. The boat was immaculate, so comfortable for 6 Adults. We spent most of the time at the front of the boat moving to the back when we went for a swim where steps provided easy access into the water. We had a couple of requests on our trip which Giovanni was very happy to weave into our morning together. The stop for a swim was excellent and took place in a really safe and beautiful spot. Giovanni was so friendly and helpful, our pick up and drop off was at Menaggio and the communication was simple, frequent and straightforward. Celebratory fizz including a few snacks were also supplied - I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend both a trip on the lake and Giovanni - thank you our two boys never stopped smiling from the moment they boarded the boat to the moment they got off.” - Reviewed on 2024-11-03
