Build and manage your lakeside business in Lugano Bay Tycoon. Rent out pedal boats and boats, serve customers, reinvest your profits, and expand your operation in a relaxing management game set on the shores of an Alpine lake.
Your own boat rental business on Lake Lugano
Build a boat rental business on the shores of Lugano. Choose your fleet, set your prices, expand along the promenade, and keep your customers happy as the weather and seasons change.
Start small and grow your reputation to unlock new boats and buildings. Balance the books, plan your next investment, or pause for a moment and watch life on the lake.Build your fleet
Choose from six types of boat: pedal boats, rowing boats, dinghies, runabouts, electric boats, and water taxis.
Each comes with different costs, earnings, and wear. A more expensive boat is an investment to weigh carefully, and a bigger fleet means more to manage.Grow your business along the waterfront
Build piers to add moorings and open kiosks along the promenade to serve passing visitors.
Set your rental prices with care. Every customer has a budget and limited patience: finding the right balance matters as much as having boats ready at the shore.Every season brings new decisions
Summer brings crowds, winter slows things down, and a thunderstorm can change your plans. Decide when to recall your boats and how to handle the weather.
Take on contracts for hotels, school trips, and the sailing club. Meet deadlines while keeping your everyday customers satisfied, and build the reputation you need to expand.Manage at your own pace
Lugano Bay Tycoon is a small, single-player management game designed for a relaxed experience.
Manage the business without steering the boats yourself. Adjust the simulation speed, pause whenever you like, and decide when to expand or simply enjoy the view.

The bay draws inspiration from Lugano’s shore, promenade, and surrounding mountains, reimagined rather than recreated to scale.
Even the red pedal boats with their little-car bodies are inspired by those found on the real lake.A note from the developer
This is my first Steam release, born from a personal challenge to build and finish a game of my own. It is a small project, and I welcome feedback from players as I continue improving it.
Thank you for visiting Lugano Bay.
