10/10 Recommend doing this excursion. We had the MOST WONDERFUL time. Our tour guide, Frederico (and his wife, who coordinates the excursion), was GREAT. He was an excellent mix of educational, entertaining, and funny. We were a laid back group of 5 girls who went for a 40th birthday party (from the USA). It was honestly one of the highlights of our entire trip through Bellagio, Tuscany, Florence, and Milan. Can't say enough great things about that experience. Would do it again TOMORROW! The personal/private experience was just so fabulous. Don't miss this one!

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

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

If you plan to be at Bellagio, this boat tour is a must!! We travelled all over the world and this boat tour was one of the most memorable experiences.
Matthew_R, Sep 2024
Truly an unforgettable and incredible experience. First of all, the boat was gorgeous and large enough for well more than the 2 of us (it was our honeymoon). Secondly, Marco was the most incredible captain - knowledgeable, funny, engaging. The provided snacks were delicious and simple and drinks were plentiful. The last ~45 minutes of our trip were very rainy but Marco kept us in good spirits and provided ponchos. An absolute must if you're in Bellagio - steps away from Hotel Belvedere.

We had a wonderful afternoon sailing with our skipper, Marko. It was the highlight of the trip to Bellagio other than a wedding we attended Be aware the take off point is on the backside of the Bellagio peninsula-15 min walk from ferry up and down a bit of hill

Unfortunately there wasn't much wind the day we sailed, but still had an enjoyable time. Great captain and shared some good information about the area as we motored around the lake.
Cheryl_L, Jul 2024
Wonderful relaxing trip around lake Como. This is the best view and Great way to see the lake. Captain Marco was great. I would suggest you bring extra Prosecco/wine if you want more than one and bring some sandwiches for lunch.
Melissa_C, Jul 2024
Marco was an enjoyable skipper, very relaxed and shared many details about the villas around the lake. We had a very calm day, so no sailing. We motored around the lake. But it was a very good way to see Lago di Como. The best part was swimming, jumping from the boat, and enjoying the lake on a very hot day. A bit pricey but we would do it again.

Glide on Lake Como's waters with this sailing tour. Breathtaking scenery unfolded around every bend, expertly narrated by our knowledgeable guide, Marco. Refreshing drinks and snacks were provided, while viewing historic villas and hidden coves. A perfect blend of relaxation and discovery
RobertTidwell, Jul 2024
We could not have had a better experience on this tour! Marco is an incredibly gracious and knowledgeable host. He took us to so many beautiful areas on Lake Como, and shared the history of each area with us. The boat was extremely comfortable for our family (My wife and I with our 2 adult daughters); we had plenty of room to lay out and experience the beauty that is Lake Como. Thank you so much for this incredibly memorable experience!

Our tour started out with rain but we’re from Oregon so it didn’t scare us away. The captain had blankets and a cover for us. We were very comfortable. It warmed up as we went and was a pleasant experience. Perfect way to see the lake.
Jane_B, Jun 2024
Such a relaxing morning cruise around Lake Como. Marco was a terrific host, pointing out some of the most known villas near Bellagio and beyond. The snacks were yummy and the blankets and pillows on board made us comfortable and cozy on a chilly day. Highly recommend.
Katherine_P, Jun 2024
My family had a great day on the boat! It had great views of many of the popular towns on Lake Como, sites where movies were filmed and a place to jump out and swim. The driver was very knowledgeable and pleasant.
Andrea_L, Jun 2024
We had a wonderful sail with Marco. Absolutely beautiful and a great way to see the villages. Marco was a great skipper and host, funny, knowledgeable and kind. What a relaxing way to spend time. Gratzie! Andrea

Marco was both super friendly and entertaining. Had a great time, it flew by!
Even though the weather was unexpectedly not cooperating Cristina was able to move our start time to make sure we have the best experience, boat is large and comfortable.
Joey_U, Jun 2024
Marco was fantastic! He talked about Lake Cómo and showed us great sites! The boat was nice and clean. The snacks were great and we even toasted with a glass of Prosecco.
Emily_Q, Jun 2024
We could not be anymore thrilled with the experience on the sail boat in lake Como. We did this on the last day of our trip and wish we could stay one more day to book it again. They were very customizable to what you wanted to do on the boat. Such a beautiful day, we can not wait to do it again in the future. THANK YOU!!

My husband and I were in Bellagio celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary. We booked a three hour private sailing tour on Lake Como with Bellagio Yacht Experience. Unfortunately, the day we were scheduled to go out the winds on the lake were very strong and the water was very choppy. Cristina contacted me to ask if we would like to postpone it until the next day, but we were unable to as it was our last day in Bellagio. Knowing it was our anniversary, they agreed to take us out. Frederico was so kind, very knowledgeable, and a pleasure to be with. We were hoping the winds would subside, but, unfortunately, after about 30-45 minutes, we decided to head back in. Frederico offered to refund our money which he and Cristina did. They were both so sweet, and the communication with them from start to finish was excellent. I highly recommend them for a tour of Lake Como. They were both such a pleasure to work with. They even had a delicious cake for us to celebrate our anniversary! Thank you Frederico & Cristina!

Our family of 6 adults had a wonderful time sailing around Lake Como with Frederico. It was so relaxing and amazing beautiful.
Elizabeth_L, Sep 2023
Our family booked a private sail around Lake Como on Frederico & Cristine's beautiful sailboat. They accommodated our change from one day to the day before because rain was expected, and we had a very special need for sunshine: our daughter's engagement! Cristine took care of setting up the proposal, asking them to pose for an Instagram post in front of Villa Balbianello. Then our soon-to-be son-in-law went down on one knee to ask for her hand. Passing boats shouted best wishes, everyone laughed and cried, we broke out the Prosecco and it was all MAGICAL. Frederico and Cristine, you are part of our family's memories forever. Thank you for making our wishes come true! To those thinking about booking, Frederico and Cristine are amazing; you will never forget seeing Como from the water with the sun, sounds, breezes and breathtaking views! So, so worth it!
Robert_A, Sep 2023
We had such a lovely experience on Federico’s boat!
Firstly, Cristina was wonderful to communicate with. She was so helpful and accommodating as we had to reschedule through bad weather. We were so glad we were able to reschedule as we had a fantastic and relaxing time. Federico gave us options on routes, we trusted his recommendation and enjoyed a tranquil sunset sail. We thank both of them for their flexibility, great communication, kind nature, and great experience. Recommend booking!
Melissa_M, Sep 2023
Cristina and Frederico were the most helpful, informative hosts. They not only gave us a tour of lake como, we swam and they were about to help us arrange our transport back to Cernobbio. We can’t say enough wonderful things about them both.
Kristin_G, Aug 2023
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!
Vanessa_K, Aug 2023
Our teenagers just wanted to sail dive and swim! They loved this experience. We all enjoyed the beautiful views - such a wonderful experience
