Why go
About B&S Boat Service
B&S Boat Service runs private tours and transfers on Lake Como from its base in Argegno. Each outing is built around the group on board, with a local driver at the helm and a route that moves from historic villas to mountain views and quiet corners of the shoreline.
The boat is booked for your party alone. You choose the itinerary, the stops and the pace, or leave the route to a captain born in Como. Tours range from one to eight hours, with time for swimming, villages, public villas or lunch ashore.
