We booked this boat ride in the morning, and only one slot was available in the afternoon. And BOY was it worth it. It was amazing, the boat was pretty powerful without being dangerous (40 HP), had a bluetooth radio that we connected to and was super comfy. We ended the day with the god rays shaped by the mountains of the como Lake shining down on the lake. It was incredible. We lost the map and one cushion of the boat because of the wind created by the speed. We expected to be asked to repay but instead the crew understood and we didn't have to pay anything extra which was really nice from them.
Depending on how you drive, it around 10-20E per hour of fuel to pay additional.
All in all, you can definitely feel comfortable renting from them. They are incredibly nice and you will not regret the ride.

We found this company by luck as we were originally looking for a guided tour boat, but when we saw the reviews and the more than reasonable prices we decided to give this a go.
So happy that we did!! The boat was top quality and in great condition. The staff were also very friendly and booking process was simple.
Connected the phone to the built in Bluetooth system and spent 6 hours on the lake listening to music and visiting everything we wanted, couldn’t of asked for a better day.
Would highly recommend anyone looking for a boat rental to use this company.

We procrastinated at the cost of hiring a boat for a couple of hours but decided to treat ourselves in the end. Wow! Yes, it was more than we would normally spend on a trip but no more expensive than a theme park or villa visit. And it was SO worth it.
The guys here were so, so lovely to deal with. The boat was thoroughly cleaned before we stepped on it (we watched it come back from the previous hire) and the lovely owner spent time telling us novices how to drive it and where to go.
We pottered a bit and we went fast a bit but we thoroughly enjoyed it. We hired on our last day so it was great to see the roads and villages from a different perspective.
We can't recommend this family business highly enough. Thank you!

What an amazing experience. We hired a boat for 3 hours and it cost less than €200 including petrol. We would highly recommend using this place if you are thinking of hiring a boat for the day (or part of a day).
We took the bus from Como to Argegno - about 45 mins up the west side. We were made to feel very welcome by this warm and friendly family owned business. All the paperwork was laid out for us and really easy to complete. We were recommended a route around the lake in the time we had which was really helpful to know.
We were given clear instructions on how to use the boat, stay safe and what to do if we got in to any trouble. It could not have been easier and smoother.
A fantastic experience and a great way to see Lake Como away from the crowds.

This place is an absolute gem! The boat we hired was spotless, seemed very new and we had great fun on the lake. The people who worked here were good humoured and gave really clear instructions. The price for 2 hours (around €150 including fuel) seemed a bargain compared with other hire centres in the area. Please do this if you can. Our kids had an absolute ball!

We rented a boat for three hours during the first week of July 2022. This was a great experience. It was a family run business and the staff was friendly, helpful, and there really was nothing difficult at all. Our cost was less than 200 Euro for three hours after paying for 25 liters of fuel (fuel prices being very high right now!). Do not be intimidated if you have little or no experience operating a boat, it is really pretty easy to manage his 6 meter boat, and even in July there was not too much traffic on the lake. Plus the lake is deep and pretty much free of navigation obstacles. This was so much better than seeing the lake from the overcrowded ferry, and much much cheaper than a guided tour. This was easily the best 200 Euro I spend during our week on Lake Como.
Grazie,

We dreamed of renting a boat to explore the lake by ourselves but didn’t think it was within our price range. We were wrong! For less than £200 (including fuel) we were able to hire a boat for three hours after enquiring with only two days notice via email.
Communication was excellent, they replied to emails very swiftly with all the info we needed and were so lovely to deal with.
The boats are immaculate and it felt like we were the first to use it. The time flew by and we were glad we opted for the three hours. You are not able to dock/park? and go ashore during your time but then why would you? There is no better way to explore the lake and I can’t recommend it enough.

An incredible day!
What a fantastic day we had spending 5 hours on the stunning lake Como.
Booking a boat with Turati Centro Nautico couldn’t have been easier. I emailed months in advance but was informed there was no need to book until a few weeks before the day we wish to hire so I emailed again closer to the time and had excellent and informative responses ensuring I had made a booking for the correct time on the correct date.
When we arrived, we could not have had a better greeting, Mattia was informative and professional but equally very personal at the same time.
We had a very clear explanation of what we can and can’t do whilst on the lake and a great overview of the lake itself including popular areas to visit, and also areas to avoid!
We spent 5 amazing hours on the lake in a boat in which was in impeccable condition, including lots of storage, Bluetooth speakers and a perfectly sized engine for travelling on the lake.
The amazing sun lounger at the front meant that we could relax in comfort whilst enjoying the views.
When we returned the boat, Mattia was once again very friendly, kind and helpful and we could not have asked any more of him.
I cannot recommend this company and the people who run it enough and I can guarantee We will visit again ensuring that We spend another 5 hour on the lake in a Turati boat!
Thank you once again for an amazing day!!

Passionate about boats in the third generation ... in the past racing boats, today TOP well-maintained cruiser boats with 40 HP. It's great fun. Sympathetic, TOP advice, very good instruction, fair prices. The boats are taken out of the water in the evening. Included in the price: detailed description of the international racing career. Exciting. With Turati you are absolutely safe. Always my pleasure....

Fantastic few hours on the lake - cannot recommend highly enough! Such a friendly family business with superb modern boats and zero fuss. Our children (7 & 9) loved everything about it, and so did we. Swimming off the boat in the middle of such beautiful surroundings is totally priceless. If you possibly can, rent a boat from these guys: you won’t regret it!

Hello. How much is the boat rental for 2 hours? We intend to go on Sep 5 2019. Thanks in advance.
Written September 1, 2019
Hello! We paid 140 EUR for the two hour, that also included the gasoline we have used.
It was much fun. We went late afternoon, the lights were great. Enjoy!

We are staying in Argegno. We have a family get together in Chiavenna. Thinking of renting a boat for a long day trip and heading North
Is this a wise choice
Written May 26, 2019
Yes it is a great idea. We headed north to Bellano then to Varenna and Bellagio. Nessa is a must see. We probably could of made it all the way to Como but decided to scout out Clooney’s Villa and feed the ducks by Nessa instead. Mattia is a huge help!

Hi! What is the maximum number in a boat please? There is a group of 10 of us coming next year. Thank you!
Written October 23, 2018
Yes, I agree, 6 max. We had 5 and were comfortable so for 10, you'd have to get two boats.

Buonasera, ho letto sul vostro sito che l'attività è aperta fino ad ottobre ma che i noleggi si possono estendere nel periodo invernale, un giorno della prima settimana di ottobre sarebbe quindi un problema noleggiare una barca?

Is it really possible to swim in the lake using the boat rental ? Spooky? Impossible? Dangerous?
Written July 25, 2018
Yes it is possible and very enjoyable! Clearest water is near Bellagio/Nesso. We were told there are no sharks

Hola Buenas :) estaré en Blevio junto a mi pareja del 5 al 10 de Agosto y he visto que una opción interesante para conocer el Lago seria alquilar un barco. Mi pregunta es a cerca de la cantidad requerida como deposito para realizar el alquiler, de que cantidad estaríamos hablando?
Written July 18, 2018
Hola,
Actualmente no solicitamos un depósito. En caso de daño se cuantificará para el pago.

Hallo, ich finde leider keine Preise auf der Homepage. Wir würden gerne eine kleine Bootstour buchen für 6 Personen. Leider sind 2 davon gehbehindert, also auch ein wenig unbeweglich. Gibt es hierzu eine Möglichkeit?

Hello,
thanks for the communication.
It depends a lot on the weather.
Normally it is still possible in the central hours.
it is necessary to proceed by sending your request by email a few days before to be evaluated.
Best regards.
