Sailing Experience on Lake Como with Private Skipper

This sailing trip exceeded my expectations! We knew we would be viewing the spectacular beauty of Lake Como, but what I didn’t expect was the history lessen regarding the prominent villas on the shores of the lake! We not only learned who owned them currently or who previously owned them, but how some of them are still owned by the same families over the centuries. We also learned about 2 different villas that were used in films like Star Wars, The Devil Wears Prada and a James Bond Film! We were able to swim as well, which was refreshing due to the heat. We did sit in the shade throughout our trip, so we weren’t in the blistering sun during our ride. There, unfortunately wasn’t enough wind to open the sails, but that really wasn’t an issue. We were served beverages and small bite sandwiches for our trip, but eat prior or bring enough to eat for a 3 hour tour. We were pleased with our skipper Giacamo, from Florence, was amazing and an incredible historian of Lake Como! We highly recommend this trip, and Cristina was also very communicative leading up to our trip. 100% worth every penny we spent!

Bellagio Yacht Experience , and especially Captain Giacomo, made our afternoon an amazing experience. Our boat trip was the highlight of our time in Italy. Not only was it beautiful and fun and relaxing, but Giacomo was friendly and attentive, and so kind to my kids. Cristina was immediately responsive on WhatsApp when I had trouble finding the marina (my maps app had sent me past it). Their team has created a truly special experience on Lake Como. If we return to Bellagio, we will 100% do this again. 10/10 highly recommend.

Our captain Giacomo and Luigi were both phenomenal. The views were spectacular. Everything was as promised and beyond! Giacomo went above and beyond helping me back into the boat after a swim because I couldn’t manage the fabric ladder- a real hero! My only advice to people planning is that the dock is on the other side of bellagio than the ferries. We had initially planned to take the ferry but luckily scouted it out ahead of time and realized that some people in our party wouldn’t have been able to make the walk there (steep and rocky stairs) so ended up driving and parking nearby which worked better for us.

Fantastic skipper, very knowledgable and beautiful way to experience the lake. A bit underwhelmed by the very small glass of Prosecco, one bottle between 7 of us was a poor effort for a £800 sail. They could have pushed the boat out and included at least 2. Nibbles were good but again not much. Lovely boat and overall beautiful experience.

Amazing, gorgeous, and loved it. It was cold when we went but they were prepared with blankets. Our first trip to Como and can’t wait to visit again

We had a wonderful time sailing- it was so relaxing while also being interesting. 3 hours is the perfect amount of time and we would do this again!

Great experience on lake como. Check in was easy at a small port on the peninsula. The captain was very nice, engaging but also let us enjoy time on the water.

Christina (owner) and Stephano (our captain) organized a fantastic afternoon on Lake Como for my wife and our two friends. Highly recommend this experience - Thank you

Our skipper was so friendly and knowledgeable giving us some history during our sail! Definitely worth it!

Cristina kept in touch since the forecast was rain for our confirmed date. We were able to confirm another date and it was definitely worth the wait. Marco was a very knowledgeable skipper and our sail was informative and relaxing absolutely a must do if you’re in Bellagio
