Private Sailing Experience on Lake Como
Lake Como, Italy
About This Activity
Sail Lake Como on a crewed 38-foot classic yacht, departing from Cernobbio or Lenno. The skipper navigates to the lake's most scenic stretch — the Centro Lago near Bellagio, where the lake forks into two arms and the Alps frame every direction. You can take the helm under instruction or simply sit on the bow with a glass of wine. A swimming stop in a cove below Villa Balbianello (the James Bond Skyfall and Star Wars villa) is typically included. Private charter rates start around €200-250 for 3 hours for the whole boat.
Seasonal note: Sailing season May-October; afternoon thermals create ideal conditions June-September
