      Lovely afternoon cruise
      This was a lovely, unnarrated, cruise around Lake Como. It was a very affordable trip on a ferry style boat. Easy boarding and friendly, helpful staff.

      Stop looking. This is everything to make your Lake Como visit the memory of a lifetime
      Look no further than Frederick and Cristina in Bellagio From the first Cristina helped so much coordinating schedules including late night driver and can back to Como If a person can have a job where it glorifies his passion this is it. You can read out Frederico’s experience in building and restoring ships. You can also learn of his experience sailing historic tall ships in the Mediterranean but you must experience him sailing on Lake Como. His technical confidence gives way to a wonderfully happy, passionate soul who is building life his way. We enjoyed snacks and wine while he stayed the course. But we had two hours of getting to know each other snd the surroundings. He is a man whose passion and lust for sailing comes pouring though. He was born to go this. He made everyone including first tile sailors feel comfortable. His personality ES engaging. The stories of his youth and Lake Como were so funny My wife and I as well as our adult kids and Don in law had wonderful memory making time. Thanks to Cristina and Frederico

      Incredible
      Incredible!! We would book the boat over and over again. The views across the lake are the best by boat! We got to sail round and have a good look at the other towns and particular villas and houses. The owners are so friendly and accommodating. They are very relaxed which makes the trip so enjoyable! We asked so many questions and Fredderico answered for us. The boat is lovely and comfy. We were given Prosecco onboard and offered red wine, we were also able to bring a bottle of our own of whatever else we fancied. It was a lovely touch. I highly recommend this company!

      Wonderful time on the lake
      Excellent experience all around. Used the sails when we had wind and motor when we didn't. Captain and his wife own the business and are very knowledgeable about everything on the lake. Definitely recommend this for couples or small groups. One last comment. There is only one negative review suggesting his trip got cancelled because there were only 2 people. Cost is sane for 2 or ,6 so I suspect it is a fake review from a jealous competitor.

      Perfection
      The highlight of our honeymoon! The initial sailing time had to be delayed due to weather but Carlo worked within our limited time and even upgraded our boat so that we were still able to sail! Carlo was so knowledgeable about the regions history and properties plus he was just a great guy to chat with during the cruise. Their new boat, the Bowie was GORGEOUS. We can’t recommend this experience enough, definitely a must-do while on Lake Como.

      Magical
      Our skipper was a delight on April 3, 2023. (Sorry, we cannot recall his name.). Our early afternoon tour for our group of 7 family members could not have been better! The excursion was arranged by our brother-in-law. Would highly recommend seeing the lake with this tour!

      ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE!!!
      This was truly the most magical and memorable experience of our lives!! We took this private sunset sailing cruise on the very last day of our honeymoon in Italy. It was absolutely one of our favorite experiences of our 3 week trip! Federico was such a pleasure to be around! He was friendly, professional, and gave us some alone time when we wanted to just marvel in the beauty of lake como with a glass of champagne in hand! I cannot say enough about this truly once in a lifetime experience! It was worth every penny! Book it now! I promise you won’t regret it!

      Buyer beware
      We booked this for our trip next month and we’re very excited! Gave our CC # and all info. Received a confirmation email and we thought we were set. One day later we were canceled. Boat holds 6 and we are a group of 4. Probably canceled us to get 2 more on board. Disgusted with ViTor/ trip advisor site for promoting fake advertising! Buyer beware!

      Perfect relaxing experience
      The best romantic excursion! If you are thinking about doing a boating experience, you need to book with Federico! This sunset sail was by far the best thing we did here in Como. It was relaxing and so much fun! Federico was knowledgeable and fun to speak with. The wine and snacks were perfect. Overall this was such a wonderful experience! I would highly recommend this to everyone.

    We booked the 3 hour private sailing experience on Lake Como thru Viator(Sailing Experience on Lake Como with Private Skipper) during our visit to Bellagio in July . Our skipper Federico provided an enjoyable experience on the water. It was a fantastic way to get views of the beautiful towns and villas which line the lake . The meeting point was a small pier in Pescalo where we boarded his 30ft sailboat. Pescalo is a short walk from the center of Bellagio. His boat is equipped with comfortable deck seating and bathroom facilities. He used both the engine and sails during as we navigated the blue waters listening to music and enjoying Prosecco and homemade treats. He was happy to share a few points of interest and his history with us. At one point he offered the opportunity to enjoy a swim and snap a few photos. I highly recommend the experience if you are going to Bellagio!

    A wonderful, relaxing experience sailing around Lake Como. Frederico was knowledgeable, charming and kept our active 3-year old very engaged, helping out raising and lowering the sails and steering the yacht (even if we were going in circles). A highly recommended trip to anyone who likes the sound of wind in the sails rather than the smell of gas from an outboard motor! Only one of two sailboats on the lake so plan in advance. Safe, friendly, reliable, punctual and personable.

    We spent two great hours on the lake with a very knowledgeable skipper, actually the owner of the yacht. We toured around part of the lake taking in the outstanding scenery. We had the opportunity to swim, play our own music and enjoy the sun. A very tasty snack and Prosecco was provided. A very enjoyable afternoon. Next time it’s the sunset experience.

    Despite the weather being terrible at the start, our skipper, Federico, was amazing. Within 45 minutes, the weather started to improve so he took us to a sheltered part of Lake Como. My wife and I both enjoyed viewing a number of lakeside towns from the water while Federico provided interesting information about the area. Our fantastic trip finished with a swim in Lake Como as well as a glass of Prosecco and canapés on board. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Lake Como.

    We had so much fun with Frederico. He was very knowledgeable, kind, responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend this tour, it comes with some small bites and lots of prosecco for a small cost. We sailed around for 3 hours and saw all of beautiful como from different perspectives. A great way to spend the afternoon!

    This sailing tour was absolutely fantastic! Our party of 8 loved every moment of this excursion- Frederico was witty, charming and made boating around the lake interesting and fun! We loved the sights of Lake Como plus getting to jump in the lake, and a toast with Prosecco and yummy snacks made it even more amazing. It is worth every penny spent! Frederico and his wife were the best. 100% we will return!

    Three hours will fly by as you experience Lake Como from the water. Everyone commented on this being the most relaxing experience they’ve ever been on. Our guide was friendly and totally flexible to customize our experience- we thoroughly enjoyed with our adult children. The sailboat is amazing, my wife even assisted with navigation at one point. We shared some snacks and Prosecco onboard and this was definitely the highlight of our week in Como. It did take some degree of logistics planning to park and get the ferry because we were not staying in Bellagio - but we’ll work it!

    Frederico is a very knowledgeable and considerate tour guide, providing both conversation and peace as needed. He toured the lake in a very peaceful and relaxing way, sharing stories behind each of the cities in that portion of Lake Como - from Mennagio, Bellagio and Varenna to the milk river and even sneaky fishermen and the Villa from Casino Royale (James Bond). My wife and I consider it one of our trip highlights!

    What a great 3 hours! We are so happy we booked this. Frederico met us at his beautiful sailboat and took us for a wonderful 3 hours onto Lake Como. He is very nice and accommodating - the sailboat is beautiful and well appointed. So comfortable. Our sailing experience was complete with chilled Prosecco, appetizers and he even played the music we requested! It was magical and a cherished memory.
    Do it!

    Frederico was the highlight of our trip! We were honeymooning and Como was the last leg of our trip, so we were looking to relax, which we totally did and the weather was perfect.

    We met promptly and he was so sweet, friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and funny sense of humor! The champagne and snacks were great, and he has so much room on his boat, even a bathroom as well! I can only imagine jumping off the boat going for a swim when the water is warm enough. He is also very prepared and when it got windy and chilly, he had blankets on board.

    The tour was great, and he gave us so much history about each town, I loved it. We followed Google maps and walked the 20 min long way, and before we left he advised us of a shorter way to return to the ferry, which is really really appreciated!!

    10/10 recommend and would definitely do this again when we return. Thank you so much!
