The MAS series were compact Italian motor torpedo boats used in early 20th-century naval operations; the tour boat recalls that design while operating as a civilian wooden craft on Lake Como.
Conservation
Lake Como has water-speed regulations in certain zones to protect shoreline structures and habitats; keep noise and wake to a minimum and follow skipper instructions to reduce erosion and disturbance.

Dress for wind and spray
Bring a lightweight windbreaker and quick-dry layers — the open wooden boat exposes you to wind and occasional spray at speed.
Sun protection matters
Even on overcast days, reflected light from the lake increases UV exposure — wear sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen.
Secure your camera
Fast turns and wakes can jostle gear — use a wrist strap or small dry bag to keep phones and cameras safe.
