I booked Frederick to take my wife and I on a private boat trip to celebrate my wife's birthday. His communication before the day was excellent. His help and advice before the day, was over and above what we expected. On the day we were met from the train station and treated to a boat trip around the lake that exceeded our expectations. Frederick's care and attention meant my wife and I enjoyed our time on board and his knowledge of Lake Maggiore added to the day. My wife enjoys swimming and Frederick found the perfect spot for her to swim safely. A caffe crema at the harbour was a perfect end to the morning. We were then returned to the station in good time for our return train.

We had a great day on the Lago Maggiore. After a short introduction we took off for a 4 hour tour. The boat was great and Frederick gave us some great sightseeing tips. We also did some swimming. All in all is was a perfect afternoon and also our dog was welcome. It should be natural that you clean the boat after returning to the dock especially with a dog on board.
Thank you very much for the great experience!

This is one of the most beautiful places to visit and take a boat trip to the handful of little islands on Lake Maggiore. A full day ticket is required to have enough time to visit the islands.

Fantastic boat trip with drinks, snacks and a lot of explanation about the scenery. Two swims (the water is nice). Well arranged and very hospital.

This is a professional company with Frederik as owner being a very nice and relaxed guy. Boat was great, communication with Frederik via Whatsapp very professional. You must visit Lagio Maggiore by boat and this is the company to rent from!
After the boat rent, Frederik even send us some nice visiting spots and a to-do-list around Lagio Maggiore. Talking about service!
Keep up the good work Frederik; we will visit you again!

I decided to reserve a boat trip as a gift to offer to a friend of mine, a girl from Canada whom I hadn't seen for many years. She told me she would come to Italy for a short vacation and I wanted to find something to make her time here unforgettable and special! I found out about "Boat Rent Italy" and I thought it could be fun for her. A boat trip on the lake was a good idea to make her discover the beauty of Northern Italy. I saw the prices were very convenient and got in touch with Frederick, the founder of "Boat Rent Italy". He's been very kind and helpful and gave me all the information I needed in full details. So we agreed for a half-day tour with Frederick himself as the Captain. The crew was composed of my friend from Canada, another Italian friend of mine and myself. Honestly, it was much much better than I could ever imagine! I will never forget the incredible feeling of being on the waters, surrounded by an amazing, natural landscape and going on so fast, feeling the sun on my skin and listening to some wonderful pieces of music put on by the Captain! It literally felt like flying, I was all open to those awesome emotions and I forgot everything else, as I had been transported into another dimension! At the same time I knew I was completely safe, because Frederick was there and he took care of everything, made us feel very comfortable and gave any sorts of explanation we asked for. My friend from Canada was absolutely stunned and so was I. At the end of the day, it was an excellent surprise for myself as well! If you really want to try a different, unique kind of emotion, definitely go for "Boat Rent Italy", you won't be let down!

Incredible afternoon!
Frederick helped me book the banta 460 as a surprise for my boyfriend. He was very prompt with communication and gave detailed instructions the entire process making payment and parking very easy.
The boat was beautiful, clean and fast! Frederick made sure we were comfortable operating it and gave us some great recommendations for where to go on the lake, including a wonderful swimming spot.
When we dropped off the boat he continued to give us great recommendations for things to do all around the lake.
All around an incredible day and amazing service!

We did rent the Capelli RIB for two days and had a real great experience. The handover of the boat was done well giving us all the instructions needed. At return there was no picky search for scratches or any other small damages - just a very fair return of a real great boat. On top we got some snacks and drinks as a sundowner. Really recommendable!!!

We rented a Banta 460 from Frederick for the afternoon and had a great time cruising, sightseeing and swimming. Frederick showed us how to use the boat and also suggested some great spots to go to. The boat is brilliant for 3-4 people. Very good and friendly service - would definitely come again when in the area.
