Nausika Group is today a solid Italian business reality active in the fields of nautical services, marina & storage management, rental services, boat sales, and high-end hospitality, with a well-established presence between Lake Como and Costa Smeralda.da.
The origins of the Group date back to 1971, with the establishment of the Centro Nautico Alto Lario, which has evolved into the current business structure that is now celebrating 55 years of history. Over the decades, the vision of the Giardelli family has led to the development of a modern marina designed as a Yacht Club with increasingly specialized services, transforming Colico into one of the main nautical hubs of Alto Lario and making it the most structured on Lake Como.
Today, the Group operates through three main strategic assets: the marina and nautical services of Nausika Lake Como (where lake experiences are also developed through boat rental and boat tour services) and Nausika Costa Smeralda, complemented by the hospitality offering of Lago Dorato Marina Lodge, Villas & Apartments, exclusively located on Lake Como.

Boating and technical services: the historical core of the Group
The heart of Nausika Group’s activities is located in Colico, where the Group manages Nausika Lake Como, a historic yacht club on the upper part of the lake and today one of the leading marinas for boating in Northern Italy.
The facility, fully renovated in 2025, features two basins with floating finger docks and 200 berths for boats up to 18 meters in length. It provides comprehensive services for boat owners and recreational sailors throughout the year, covering both the summer and winter seasons. Marina services include mooring, storage, routine and extraordinary maintenance work, technical boat management, and personalized assistance, extending to boat rental, boat tours, and the sale of both new and used boats.
Alongside the marina, the Colico Work Center represents the Group’s main operational and logistics hub on Lake Como: a facility fully renovated in 2022, covering an area of approximately 29,000 square meters. It is equipped with a mechanical workshop, a 260-square-meter area dedicated to boat painting, as well as departments entirely devoted to storage and exhibition spaces.
The marina stands out for its high operational standards and the use of advanced technological systems for the handling and management of boats, ensuring efficiency, safety, and speed in every shipyard operation.
As a complement to its technical offering and services, Nausika Group has established important partnerships for the sale of new boats, acting as a dealer for prestigious brands such as Invictus, Capoforte, and Comitti. The company also provides top-level technical assistance, serving as an official service center for Invictus and Capoforte at both locations, and for Volvo Penta exclusively at its Olbia facility. Thanks to this broad range of services, Nausika Group has established itself as a benchmark for a national and international clientele composed of Italian owners, alongside a growing European presence (mainly from Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, and Poland), all seeking high quality, authentic experiences, and maximum professionalism.

From management to lake experiences: the Experiences
Over the years, the Group has also developed a rich offering dedicated to nautical tourism. This has led to the creation of its Boat Tour and Boat Rental services, a range of tailor-made experiences that reflect the beauty of the surrounding area and allow guests to experience Lake Como from a privileged perspective.
The service offers specially designed tours with itineraries that highlight the landscape, history, and local culture, providing private navigation with a skipper or the option to sail independently. This is made possible by a wide fleet of motorboats (available both with and without a boating license), which has been completely renewed for the 2026 season with the introduction of custom-designed boats specifically commissioned for tours.
The experiences range from short excursions to full-day trips, exploring the most scenic locations of Alto Lario and the entire Lake Como area, as well as historic villages and iconic villas. There are also themed itineraries that combine navigation with land-based activities, such as food and wine routes, visits to local wineries, and family-oriented experiences.
