Sunset Sailing Lake Como: Private 38ft Yacht with Skipper

A 38ft sailing yacht, just you and the water, while the captain finds the coves the tour boats miss.

A private sunset sailing tour on Lake Como aboard a 38ft yacht with a live skipper, departing from Bellagio. You sail to hidden coves, villas and towns while sipping Prosecco and eating local products; the whole boat is yours alone. Two hours, English or Italian-speaking guide, suitable for all fitness levels including families with infants.

The Experience

The boat leaves Bellagio and heads into the lake's quieter corners—the coves and villa-lined stretches that the larger tour groups don't reach. A private skipper handles the sailing while you move around the deck, watch the shoreline change, and take in the light as it shifts across the water. This is not a lesson in sailing; you're a passenger on a working yacht, and the captain's job is to find the best anchorages and the clearest views.

Two hours is the window, and it wraps the whole arc: departure, the run to the hidden spots, time to settle at an anchorage, and the return as the sun drops. Prosecco and local snacks come on board—no separate order, no hunt for a bar. The boat is sanitized after each tour, and infants can come along (they sit on an adult's lap). Families with small children can bring a pram or stroller to the meeting point in Bellagio, though the boat itself is a working deck, not a lounge.

The whole yacht is yours: no strangers, no shared itinerary, no compromise on where the captain takes you or how long you linger at a spot. If the light is right at one cove, you stay. If the wind shifts and opens a different route, the skipper can change course. A private tour on the water means the day bends to what you want to see, not to a fixed schedule printed in a brochure.

Is this one for you?Two hours is tight enough to fit into an afternoon without reshaping the whole day, but long enough to reach the quiet coves and anchor while the light holds. If you're staying in Como town, you'll need to travel to Bellagio first—plan that as a separate leg, not a pickup from your hotel.

Top questions

What's the meeting point for this sunset sailing tour on Lake Como?

The tour departs from Bellagio, not Como town. You'll meet the skipper at the Bellagio waterfront; the operator cannot arrange pickup from Como itself, so plan your transport to Bellagio in advance.

What does the two-hour sailing tour actually include?

The tour includes the private yacht, the skipper's guidance to hidden coves and villas, Prosecco, and local snacks. The boat is sanitized after each departure, and life jackets are on board.

Can I bring my infant or small children on this private yacht?

Yes—infants can ride and must sit on an adult's lap; small children can come along, and you can bring a pram or stroller to the Bellagio meeting point. The tour suits all fitness levels.

What language does the skipper speak?

The skipper speaks English or Italian, so you can choose the language when you book.

Will I actually sail the yacht, or just ride along?

You ride on the private yacht while the skipper sails and navigates. This is not a sailing lesson—the captain handles the boat so you can enjoy the coves, villas and the sunset from the deck.

What if the weather turns bad or the wind is too strong?

The operator's materials do not specify cancellation or rescheduling terms for weather; contact them directly before booking to confirm their policy on wind conditions or rain.
