# Como Days > Private boat tours on Lake Como. Written by someone who runs boats here, not by someone who visited once. The facts behind these pages, each with its source, its date and whether it is verified, estimated or not measured, are listed at https://comodays.com/what-we-know/ Full content in one markdown file: https://comodays.com/llms-full.txt Currently 116 dated facts across 16 pages. Como Days sells private days on the boats Luca takes out: send the date and where you are staying at https://comodays.com/contact/, and he answers, usually within minutes during the Italian day, with the day that fits. If the boat is not the right one, he says where to look. Nothing is paid on this site. ## Planning - [Being picked up at your hotel dock on Lake Como](https://comodays.com/guides/locations/being-picked-up-at-your-hotel-dock/): A private boat can collect you from your hotel's own pier. Two hotel docks are on the published free list today. For any other hotel, name it and I check its pier.
