Isabella and Maouro were competent and lovely hosts. Although the wind was light, we had a wonderful downwind sail to our swimming destination. Those who wanted to help sail the boat were able to jump right in. The crew made sure we were all accommodated. And after, Isa and Mao took us to a local sailors bar for a drink. A highlight of our whole trip.
Strambamo!

I am writing a great review for a sailing that never happened! The captain started our sail but determined the wind was too dangerous and returned to port. I appreciate his sound judgement. At port, the crew served us prosecco and charcuterie and we had a nice, impromptu boat picnic. The company totally refunded the cost promptly. Hopefully, we will sail next year when we return to the area!

The Captain and Stephan were a great crew. Weather was perfect for sailing, swimming and eating the delicious snacks! Don’t miss this tour!

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.

This was not what we paid for! The men were lovely and they were great sailors. But we were sold a trip out of Varenna…. This was not from Varenna at all. If we had not had a car we would not have made it to the location. The tour dud their best with weather etc. but this was marketed incorrectly by Viator.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Hi Shannon! thanks for specifying that the eventual mistake was made by Viator, 'cause our product is well described and any of our information is about Varenna. Not even in our description or points of interest. Maybe you should have given 2 stars to Viator, not us... but that's ok! I'm glad you enjoyed our staff and you appreciated our work though.
Kind regards,

Great fun sailing with Baffo. There were four of us on his beautiful sailboat. All had the opportunity to steer and learn from him. We enjoyed the snack and Prosecco. Definitely a highlight of our trip.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Super Baffo! we were a bit worried about the weather but you had a beautiful afternoon. Thanks Ellen! I'll share you're words with Baffo! ;)

Ciao Catherine!!!

Easy to find, the boat was lovely. We were able to see the the prettiest parts of the lake and swim in the gorgeous water. It was a great day. The only thing was we did have to wait a while before jumping in (1hour and 40 minutes). I also thought it was private but we had another 2 people with us. Other then that it was great

The day we spent on the sailboat with skipper Maura and first mates Isabella was all we dreamed of and more! We had an amazing time!
Alexa_P, Jul 2022
This was the highlight of our time in Italy. Isabella and the rest of the team were friendly, kind, and funny. We had a blast sailing with them, swimming, enjoying an appertivo, and socializing with the other couple on the tour. We seriously will never forget this tour. A must if you are staying near Lecco!

Best experience in Lake Como! We couldn’t get to the port on time due to a last minute driver cancellation but took a ferry to the nearest town and planned to walk/run to make it just 5 minutes late. They called us to let us know they would pick us up from where we were as it wasn’t safe on the narrow roads to walk. Once on the boat all stresses washed away. We were met with immense hospitality and lots of great snacks and drinks. The captain brought us to a beautiful area of the lake to swim and relax. I will remember diving into the Gatorade blue waters for the rest of my life. I have never felt more welcomed or cared for while also having so so much fun. If ever back Lake Como I will be doing this again.

What a lovely way to get to know Lake Como! Mauro & Gigi could. It have been any more fun, friendly and adventurous. Our entire family loved every second with them. Don’t miss this incredible experience.

The captain, skipper and host were so friendly and accommodating from the start. Isabella reached out days before to prepare me for weather, where to meet, etc. She was a doll! Very knowledgeable and so incredibly down to earth. We had a blast and this is the perfect way to see Lake Como. Such a great crew who are so honest, pure and good hearted.
Response from Host, May 2022
Ciao Brittany!
Thanks for your very kind words! Wish there was more sun, but we had a good sailing and a great afternoon!
We're glad you enjoyed your time with us! We wait for your husband to design a sailing game! :DDDDD
