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. 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.
