Nice boat for the 2 hour tour around Lake Como. However, the captain added nothing special and in fact took away from the trip. Negative attitude on everything we asked about. They said there would be water on board but was never offered any. Would have been better if he has a nicer personality to engage with his passengers.

Excellent experience. After a quick review of how to operate the boat(Iām a novice) we were on our way. Boat was nice and perfect for cruising the lake. Easy to stop and swim wherever you like. 10/10 would do it again.

Great boats and entertaining captain! This tour is excellent value for the price. They took us to all of the cool spots and it is clear the drivers are experienced. I would recommend it to anyone who is trying to go on a boat who is on a friendly budget

We had a great experience with AC boat in Menaggio. The staff was super helpful, the boat was very navigable without a Captain and the views were spectacular. Highly recommend AC boat for your trip!!

Last Fall, for my birthday, my boyfriend and I rented a private boat from AC Boat, and we had the nicest day ever. Our private captain was extremely pleasant and professional. And they are the most affordable choice I could find around Lake Como... Highly recommended!

What a great rental company. Had an amazing overall experience with them. There was some question regarding the weather for the time we were supposed to go out. But the crew worked with us and was very accommodating to get us out there and not fully cancel the experience we were looking forward to for so long.
Shout out to Kappa, Erik, and Andrea, they helped us and made some exceptions to even stay a bit later than expected for us to enjoy our time. Can't thank them enough for being flexible.
Don't look anywhere else for your lake como rental. These guys are the best!

Incredible experience on the lake and even let us change our booking last minute so we could make use of the sunshine instead of the rain!

Just an awesome day on the lake and a fun boat, you haven't experienced Lake Como until you've got your own boat and explored from top to bottom. The person I was with has mobility issues, so while it was tricky for them to get in and out of the boat, the man helped as much as he could. I will be returning to AC Boat next summer. One thing I would suggest is for the staff to at least state the most basic nautical laws, as basic as giving way to boats at your starboard and turning starboard to avoid collision, as I did see a few boats not adhering to basic nautical practice.

I found this company and decided to use them because of all their great reviews on Trip Advisor.
The communication in booking the boat excursion was excellent and they responded quickly.
Our captain was Andrea. He was MAGNIFICENT! We went from Tremezzo all the way down to Como and then back up on the other side of the lake. He explained everything in great detail that we were seeing on the lake, including the Villas, towns etc.
He had a great attitude! We loved him.
We stopped in Como for 1.5 hours to walk around on our own. We also stopped for 45 minutes at the Mandarin Hotel for a drink at their lake front bar.
It was truly a great day! They will customize you day with your preferences.

What is the cost of a 3 hour trip? approximately 200 euros
When is the best time to book a trip? We did the afternoon at 13:00-16:00 when it was hot. Great way to beat the heat.
If we live in Como, how can we get there conveniently? No sure. We stayed in Menaggio but you might want to check about similar rentals in Como.
What can you do with a 3 hour trip? Do they provide maps and guides? No maps or guides but I did some research before hand to map out a plan. Basically, did a long cruise with a couple of stops to swim and look at the sights.
Hello Roy, with your experience, what would be the best time in the day to rent the boat. morning, afternoon or evening? thank you very much.
Hello, we are staying in Menaggio late July do we need to pre-book a boat?

Hi! We are a family that would like to rent a boat for a full day. We did that in Lake Garda a couple of years ago but experienced issues finding places/piers around the lake where we were allowed to stop by with the boat in order to have an ice cream and have a lunch. Is it the same in Lake Como?

Yes, Johnny on Lake Como you can dock at the public floating docks available in lots of towns. Write us an email and we will be happy to help you!

Hi, I am visting with a family of 5 in August 6-20 and driving over from Porlezza and looking to rent a boat for 3 hours. Where is the easiest/best place to park? And potentially what would be the best day? Thank you.

We booked a boat with AC Boat Rental (Menaggio) online before we left the UK. About 150 metres or so from Menaggio main square. Reasonable hire costs (hourly or day). Staff were very friendly and helpful. Full demo before setting us loose for the day. Recommend at least a few hours if you want to travel along the lake and picnic. We did a full day - worth every penny. There is a car park near the supermarket just a couple of streets back from the lake and some on street parking too.

Hi, do you have bigger than a 6 berth boat and are dogs allowed on the boat? There will be 8 of us plus 2 dogs. If so how much would this be for two hours?

The boat for 8 people is our AS 590 DELUX motorboat. This boat can be driven only with a valid boat license and dogs are not admitted on it.
We are sorry!
