More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A small wake slides away from Como’s stone quay as renters lift the throttle on a 40‑horse open boat. Early light glances off slate water; an awning casts a shaded pool over sun loungers while the engine’s steady hum becomes the day’s pulse. The craft is compact and forgiving — designed for hands that want autonomy rather than instruction.
