Buongiorno

Your skipper
Alexander.
I've been running this boat on Lago Maggiore for years — long enough to know which bay catches the morning sun, where the water stays glassy past noon, and which trattoria on Isola dei Pescatori is worth the stop.
Trips are private and small — never more than four guests. I'll meet you at the dock, we'll cast off when you're ready, and I'll bring you back to Stresa whenever you want.
