Frequently asked questions

How can I book a boat?

You can book a boat directly on our web app: https://lakecomoapp.com/en-us/app/book/boat/search

What payment methods are accepted?

We accept payments by credit and debit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) through the secure platform Stripe. The payment is processed at the time of booking, and you will receive a confirmation via email.

How far in advance should I book?

You can check availability in real time directly on the platform and send your request in just a few clicks. The operator will receive it immediately on their private WhatsApp channel and will confirm the booking as soon as possible. During peak season (June-August), we recommend booking a few days in advance: the most requested boats go quickly.

Can I pay in cash?

No, payments are managed entirely online through the secure payment system Stripe. This ensures maximum transparency and security for both parties, and allows you to always have a digital receipt for your booking.

What should I do if I want a refund?

To receive a refund, cancel the booking before the departure time directly from the platform. The refunded amount depends on how far in advance you cancel:

More than 7 days before → full refund (100%)
Between 48 hours and 7 days before → partial refund (70%)
Less than 48 hours before → partial refund (30%)
After the departure time → no refund

Special cases: you are entitled to a full refund (100%) regardless of timing if the cancellation is due to bad weather or safety reasons. The refund is processed automatically to the same card used at the time of payment — you don't need to do anything else.

Where is the boarding point?

The boarding point is indicated in the details of each boat and confirmed in the booking confirmation email. We recommend checking the instructions in advance and arriving a few minutes before the scheduled time.
