For a group, a private event or a wedding I put together the boats needed and coordinate the departures, with a single price for the whole fleet.

A marriage proposal on board

Many guests choose the Riva for the moment they ask the question.

The surprise
Flowers on board, the ring kept safe until it is needed, the deck prepared before you reach the pier.
The moment
I agree the point and the time with the skipper, so the boat slows down exactly where you want it to.
Afterwards
A bottle already cold on board, and a photographer on a second boat if you would like the scene on camera.

The price depends on what you choose: I set it out in my written proposal, before any confirmation. The complete version, with champagne and flowers, is the The Proposal package.

Frequently asked questions

Is the price per person or per boat?

Per boat, with skipper, fuel and VAT included. It is the same whether there are two or five of you on board.

Can I choose the Riva model?

Yes, and I guarantee it: the boat you choose is the boat at the pier. If a breakdown stops it, I call you first and you decide.

What happens if it rains?

In light rain the boat goes out. In bad weather, cancellation and change of date are free.

Do tours leave only from Stresa?

No. On Lake Maggiore the tours leave from Stresa, Pallanza, Golfo Borromeo, Lesa, Ranco and Angera. On Lake Orta from Pettenasco, Piazza Motta in the centre of Orta and Ortello.
