Sailing Experience on Lake Como with Private Skipper

1.Sailing Experience on Lake Como with Private Skipper

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 98 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) Top of the fleet

From Bellagio, you’ll spend about three hours on a private sailboat with skippers such as Marco, Federico, or Stefano. Expect views of Villa Melzi and Villa del Balbianello, Italian snacks, soft drinks, Prosecco, and a possible swim stop. The route can adapt to weather, wind, and your group’s interests.

“If you are thinking about doing this- stop thinking and just book it! We had the absolute best time. The boat is beautiful, theres snacks (mini pizzas!), wine, music, we learned the history about the area, the homes and got to go swimming. Truly the perfect way to spend a few hours. It was wonderful!”

2.Sunset sailing on lake Como with Private Skipper

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 88 reviews · 2 hours (approx.)

Set out from Bellagio on a private 38-foot sailing yacht with a local skipper such as Federico, Marco, or Stefano. Over about two hours, you’ll pass villas, coves, and lakeside towns while hearing local stories. Prosecco, Italian aperitivo snacks, and a relaxed sunset setting are included for your group of up to nine.

“We loved the opportunity to see the lake shore from the water. There was no wind, so we motored only, but the leisurely pace, the beautiful weather, and the views were amazing. Our captain gave us a nice tour, sharing names of places and some stories of what we were seeing on the shoreline. He is a skilled sailor and made us feel very welcome and pampered.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 34 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $234Lowest fare aboard

Spend about four hours sailing Lake Como’s central Golden Triangle with skipper Ricky and, on some departures, assistant Nadia. Expect villa and village views, local aperitivo, Prosecco, beer, soft drinks, and possibly a swim stop. The boat carries no more than six people, making this a personal alternative to a large sightseeing cruise.

“This sailing tour was truly the highlight of our week in Italy! From start to finish, everything was seamless and so much fun. Ricky was an absolutely excellent host — warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly skilled. His expertise and easygoing personality made us feel completely comfortable while he shared fascinating stories and insights about Lake Como and its surroundings. The aperitivo on board was such a special touch — sipping prosecco and enjoying the views as we sailed past stunning villas and charming towns was pure magic. The entire experience felt relaxed, personal, and beautifully organized. If you’re visiting Lake Como, don’t miss this tour! It’s the perfect blend of adventure,…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 26 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $251

Sail the eastern side of Lake Como from Valmadrera with a skipper and assistant, in a group of no more than six. You can help steer, swim in clear water, relax among mountain views, and enjoy Prosecco with snacks. Guides including Isabella, Mauro, Gigi, and Baffo are known for making the outing personal and easygoing.

“Isabella and Gigi were amazing! By far the best experience of our entire Italy trip. Gigi and Isa made us feel like family, talked about their towns, family, and traditions. We enjoyed the lake with perfect sailing weather. We cannot thank them for an experience of a lifetime.”
