What is there to say but praise for frederico? Super professional and a great host who will offer you a good eye inside como in order to navigate the towns, things to visit and restaurants to try. The day was insanely cold and raining quite a bit but we were really looking forward to going and he said it was safe to go. The sail was wonderful and he offered a few snacks and we talked quite a bit about life in this part of Italy. If you do decide to get on the lake and staying near bellagio I highly recommend frederico as hun and his sailboat became the highlight of our trip

Breathtaking and Surreal

Zack_W, May 2023

All I can say is Wow. This exceeded our expectations. I booked this some time ago to be a special part of me and my wife’s honeymoon. This was well worth the money. The scenery and lake really speaks for itself, but the crew was incredible as well. I wish I could remember the names of the two gentlemen who ran this ship, but they were super cool and friendly. It was a perfect combination of solitude on a boat and great conversation we had with these gentlemen. If you’re looking for an incredible and laid back experience on one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, this is the place to do it. I’m also convinced that these guys would do anything to make your tour worth it. If I could give it more than five stars I would!

Best boat trip ever

Miya_B, May 2023

Honestly the best boat trip we have ever been on! We were a group of 6 girls and both skippers were brilliant! We were able to play music, drink & eat… all whilst taking in the breathtaking views of lake como! Gorgeous boat, day and experience. Can’t recommend enough! Good for all ages!

Amazing sail boat tour around Lake Como

megan_y, Apr 2023

The gals took a trip to Milan and thought we needed to experience lake como while there. This sail boat ride was absolutely amazing! Frederico, was kind and attentive and extremely knowledgeable about como. He provided us with some fresh snacks and Prosecco as well! I highly recommend!!

Amazing! A must do in Bellagio!

Cari_G, Sept 2022

Amazing trip! We went even in the rain and it was still amazing. If you can, I highly recommend doing this!

Highly recommend!

PaigeGrissom, Sept 2022

We had such a great time on this trip around the lake! Frederico showed us all the popular places around the area and stopped to let us swim for a little bit! Had a bottle of champagne and snacks for us as well. Highly recommend!

Off Day on the Lake

Monique_O, Aug 2022

Frederico was prompt at the pickup, which was nice so we could enjoy our full time on the lake. What lacked was really his attentiveness. The entire time he was on his phone either talking or texting, steering the wheel with his feet, and so it felt like we were a bother to him. We had to ask him questions to get any information about the area/sights/etc. if we didn’t I suspect we would’ve floated around just listening to music. Was offered water 1/2 way through our sailing after we drank all our water we had brought on board. The Prosecco was warm, and the snacks was literally bread rolls. You get more snacks at the local cafe for free! We didn’t even put the sails up, and while I understand not all days are meant for sailing, the other sail boat on the water had their sails up, so I feel like again, we were just a bother & he wanted to just do the bare minimum. Maybe we got him on an off day, but still… I was quite disappointed in the customer service, and did not think this was worth the price.

Highly recommended!! Amazing experience

Irene_C, Aug 2022

The sailing was amazing!! We had the chance to go through the lake, swim, Federico was really kind and he had refreshments and snacks on the boat! I highly recommend it for anyone that would visit lake Como! It’s worth it!

Lake Como boat trip

Lora_S, Aug 2022

This was by far the best experience of our trip! The lake is beautiful and the guide was great. They provided us with water, snacks and a bottle of prosecco to sip while we were enjoying the gorgeous view. I'd recommend it to everyone!

Sailing on Lake Como

Holly_B, July 2022

Frederico was a wonderful host for our sailing adventure on Lake Como. We stopped to swim and enjoyed Prosecco and snacks on board.

Perfect way to experience Lake Como with a great Captain

Christian_P, June 2022

Federico was the perfect captain. Our family had a great time cruising around the lake, and my 4-year old now has plans to become Federico's next hire in a future summer. :) We all had a blast. Highly recommend. Thanks again Federico!

Incredible Yacht Experience!

Braedon_K, June 2022

It was awesome to talk with Federico, our skipper. He took us to some great parts of the lake and we had an awesome time swimming.

Fantastic!

Marissa_L, June 2022

My family had a wonderful afternoon on the boat touring Lake Como. Our Captain was great. We had the best time! Lots of great memories were made.

Great customer service and understanding

Kyle_T, June 2022

My wife and I were late to our 3-hour excursion and Federico was so polite and understanding about it! He gave us the best 30-minute boat experience we could have gotten. Our transportation got messed up and once we arrived by Ferry, he picked us up in his own car and brought us to the boat. If we were in awe of the 30 minutes we got, I can't even imagine what a 3 hour boat tour would have been like.

The captain was lovely,...

seyda_m, May 2022

The captain was lovely, very friendly. And sailing is a nice and quiet way of experiencing the lake.

Amazing!!!

Awesome trip around Lake Como

Christopher_S, Apr 2022

Federico was awesome. He was very accommodating. He had great music and a nice mid-trip snack. The boat ride was a highlight of our trip and is an amazing way to experience the lakes.

Wonderful skipper!

James_F, Sept 2021

Frederico was a delight. The day we went out there was too little wind to actually sail so we just slowly cruised. The views were, of course, beautiful by boat. Eat before you go. Expensive for two people…a larger group would be much more cost effective.

Great day on Lake Como.

Katie_N, July 2021

Frederico was super nice and friendly. Very knowledgeable about the area and very accommodating. Provided Prosecco, chips and non-alcoholic drinks.

Perfekter Tag auf dem See

Anna_S, July 2021

Sehr netter Skipper. Perfekter entspannter Nachmittag auf dem Wasser. Zeit zum Baden war toll für die Kinder.
