Origin story

On a chilly February morning, I was at my university desk in Lugano studying Economics when I looked out the window at the snow-covered mountains and the shimmering lake below and realised those four walls would never make sense to me. That was the last morning I spent there. What happened next?

I’m 23. But my story on this lake started long before I was born. My family has been here for generations. I’ve been on boats since I was four, driving them since I was sixteen. The lake isn’t a backdrop for me it’s home. The real kind, the kind you carry in your body. 
So I came back. Not to start a business. To reclaim a life.
I chose the Colombo Superindios because it’s the honest boat of Lake Como. The original. The one that’s been trusted on these waters for over fifty years by Lady Diana, by Clooney, by people who know the difference between style and substance. I chose it for the same reason: safety first, soul second, aesthetics a distant third. 

I’m not a tour operator. I’m not a guide. I’m the local friend you didn’t know you had here.

No scripts. No crowds. No fixed routes.

Just the lake, the way it was meant to be seen.

The Local’s Tour

The lake, without the script


This is the tour for people who hate tours.

Forget the fixed routes and the commentary you’ve already read on Wikipedia. This is the version of Lake Como that took me 23 years to know. I’ll take you where the water is calmest and the crowds aren’t. I’ll show you to the hidden corners I grew up in, share the family stories that don’t make it into guidebooks, and stop wherever feels right for a photo, a meal, or a drink. Tell me how much time you have, and I’ll show you around! I suggest booking for at least 2 or 3 hours!

Marriage proposal on boat

You handle the question. I’ll handle the rest.

You’ve got the ring and the words. Leave the logistics to a local who knows every romantic coordinate on the map. I know exactly where to position my Colombo Superindios for the perfect light and the most privacy. I’ll have the atmosphere set and the music right. And when the moment comes, I promise I’ll find something very important to look at on the other side of the lake. This one stays between us!

On the Same Water

Some boats have history. This one has legends


George Clooney. Lady Diana. Brigitte Bardot. Gianni Versace. They all chose the Colombo Superindios for the same reason: it is the most elegant, most reliable boat ever built for these waters. When you step on board, you aren't just booking a seat; you’re stepping into fifty years of Lake Como heritage.
It’s solid, it’s classic, and it’s finally your turn to take the helm of a legend.


Old Money, New Wave

The labels chose Lake Como. Let’s find out why.

Versace, Gucci, and the "Old Money" villas defined Italian style for a century. This lake has always been a magnet for people who understand beauty. On this tour, we hunt for those labels from the water—cruising past the gardens and estates that inspired global fashion houses. Part architectural tour, part treasure hunt, and entirely for those with a good eye. Sunglasses on. Let’s go.

Carte Blanche

Your idea. My lake.

If You don’t fit into a template…good, because neither do I. Tell me what you have in mind. A specific swim spot nobody knows about. A full day with no agenda. A custom route that makes no logical sense but sounds perfect. Something you've never done on a boat before. The lake is my backyard, and I know where everything is hiding. Now it can be yours too!

The Candlelight Tour

The lake after everyone else has left

When the day-trippers head back to the hotels, the lake transforms. The water stills, the light turns golden, and the noise disappears. That is when we go out. With candles lit and the music set, we claim the quietest zones of the lake for ourselves. Whether it’s an anniversary or just a Tuesday that deserves to be special—some evenings are worth doing properly. Push: Dress code? Up to you.

The boat

Colombo Superindios. Built on this lake. Built for this lake.

I didn’t choose the Colombo for aesthetics. I chose it because it’s right. Most boats you’ll find on Lake Como are chosen by operators for one reason: availability. The Colombo Superindios was chosen by me for entirely different ones. Colombo is the original Lake Como manufacturer. Not imported, not adapted born here, designed specifically for these waters, these currents, this weather. When conditions change on the lake  and they do, fast  you want a boat that was built with that in mind. I chose fibreglass over wood deliberately. Wooden boats are beautiful. They’re also €20,000 a year in maintenance, more vulnerable in rough water, and more likely to leave you stranded mid-lake while your captain apologises. Fibreglass is safer, more durable, and more honest. I’d rather spend that money on your experience than on keeping the hull together.

Lady Diana. George Clooney. Brigitte Bardot. Sylvester Stallone.

They didn’t choose the Colombo Superindios for the Instagram moment. They chose it because people who know this lake — really know it — understand that the Colombo is simply the right choice. Elegant without trying. Reliable without compromise.

I chose it for exactly the same reasons.

There is a particular feeling you get on a classic wooden-hulled Colombo cutting across a glassy Lake Como at 7am when the mountains are still in shadow and the water is the colour of slate.

Actually — I’ll let you experience that yourself.
