Voltaire wrote that the homeland is the place where one lives happily. In these words I see exactly what Bellagio is for me: my joy of life! The place where I was born, who saw me grow up and where I still live. That little corner of paradise where I'm lucky enough to admire every day in all its beauty. The passion that I have for the lake was transmitted to me by my father who took me by boat when I felt a bit down. At the age of 14 I had my first boat and, from that moment, I could not do without it. Today I present "Queen Helen".

Some of our PICTURES

We are Federico and Cristina. In January 2019, we saw our dream boat, an Alpa 38, and decided that it was the right moment to start our new adventure. Shortly after, we created  Bellagio Yacht Experience . After a bit of TLC and a few upgrades, Rafilù was finally ready to set sail.

Sailing is the perfect activity to relax and have fun while enjoying the astonishing beauty of Lake Como. Every tour is uniquely tailored to fit our customers’ needs and desires, making them feel cocooned and part of our family.

Federico has 10 years of experience as a sailing instructor on the lake, besides being a crew member on vintage vessels during historical regattas. He also served as 2nd officer on a tall ship cruising the Mediterranean. He is a proficient mechanic, an expert restorer of vintage boats, a professional diver, and last but not least, the skipper of  Rafilù .

Besides being an expert sailor herself, Cristina is also the creative mind behind  Bellagio Yacht Experience . Thanks to her incredible eye for detail and tasteful touch, she will ensure every aspect of your experience is perfect. When renting our  gozzo , she will tell you the best spots to enjoy the lake as well as some helpful driving advice.

We will do everything possible to make your tour, wedding, birthday, or event unforgettable and to show you the hidden gems of Lake Como.

All our tours are private, personalized, and have no hidden fees.

We just got back from our 3h cruise around Bellagio, Varenna and all the beautiful Villas. It was absolutely perfect! The boat, the Prosecco, the snacks, the knowledgeable and friendly guide/owner and above all the beautiful scenery. I think it’s the best way to view all lake como has to offer. Communication and booking was super easy as well. I highly recommend booking with Federico!

The most wonderful part of our weeks in Italy. Cristina and Frederico were so wonderful and helpful.

Floating in Lake Como at sunset enjoying wine and Fredeico’s joyful personality was fantastic. The peace of sailing, and the beauty of the countryside was so calming.

I cannot recommend this highly enough. We will look back on this with happiness and recall fun filled stories from Frederico.

Grazie mille!

Debbie Mistick

Truly the highlight of our trip/ Federico was a gem – kind, funny, intelligent, articulate and just a wonderful human to spend three glorious hours with while seeing the beautiful Lake Como. Complete with delicious snacks and Prosecco this was worth every penny. By the end of our trip we loved Federico so much we invited him and his wife to dinner! This tour is a must on your trip and make sure to ask for Federico! Thank you for the beautiful day and lifetime memories!

Dana Sabatino

This is the best sail experience from Bellagio on Lake Como! Federico was so kind, and it was great to get destination information from a local during our tour. The lake is absolutely gorgeous, especially from a sailboat. I am a travel agent in the United States and will 100% be recommending Bellagio Yacht Experience to my clients, friends, and family!

Jennifer Hunter

Absolutely fantastic experience. Frederico and his wife who run the company were extremely accommodating and changed our time last minute due to weather concerns, and the tour could not have been better. Frederico was knowledgeable, fun, and nice, as he showed us around the lake and its many villas. The boat was spacious and beautiful, and the provided Prosecco and snacks were a nice touch.

Dennis Vaysburg

Dall’alba al tramonto nel più bel lago del mondo, visitando le splendide ville del lago con Federico che ci ha illustrato tutto con grande piacere e cordialità. Una giornata indimenticabile.

No, unfortunately, we can't carry luggage and the lake's navigation rules do not allow us to operate as a taxi service just to transport you to hotels or restaurants. We can only conduct tours.

Unfortunately, we can't. While the lake may appear small on maps, it is quite long to tour with a speedboat. As we depart from Como, touring the northern branch of the lake or the Lecco branch is not feasible due to speed boat fuel limits. However, we can assure you that the Como branch of the lake is spectacular to tour, encompasses all the most interesting attractions, and will surely amaze you.

Swimming is possible during some tours, depending on the weather conditions and the locations we visit. Please let us know if you're interested. Be aware that we do not provide towels for drying.

Dress comfortably and appropriately for the weather and the possible wind. You may also want to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. You can also wear swimsuit, if you'd like.

No, the boat is open and it has a limited coverage tent for shading and protection of the weather.

If the weather is unsuitable for a tour, we may reschedule or offer a full refund. We'll also provide blankets if it gets cold during the tour. The captain may also decide to shorten the tour if weather conditions change, posing a safety risk to passengers.

Unfortunately not.

Unfortunately not. The tours are not suitable for children under 3 years of age. There is no space for strollers.

Small snacks like sandwiches or similar items are allowed. Be aware that there is no table for cutting fruit or other items.

Yes, if you opt for our full-day grand tour, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy a leisurely lunch in a village or at a restaurant along the lake, such as in Bellagio or any other restaurant of your choice. However, if you choose a shorter tour (2, 3, or 4 hours), unfortunately there won't be enough time for lunch.

Of course fuel is included in the tour price. There are no hidden or additional costs.

Unfortunately not. Brezza di Como only provides service with a driver.

Absolutely! We always have cold water available for passengers. Upon request, we can also provide wine or prosecco for guests. Please let us know your preferences, and we'll arrange for drinks to be available on board. Unfortunately, due to the limited size of the boat, a full aperitif (happy hour or buffet) is not possible. Only small snacks like chips or similar can be provided.

Unfortunately, no. Before the tour, as much as possible, make sure you won't need to use the restroom for at least a couple of hours.

Certainly! You can book a boat tour as a gift for someone else. We can even provide a gift voucher if you prefer.

MEET THE CAPTAIN

I am Alessandro Rossi , and I'm the captain of Brezza di Como , the speedboat that will take you and your loved ones on amazing tours of Lake Como.

I have been sailing Lake Como since I was a teenager. Sailing so frequently on the lake, I know at any moment how the winds blow and can anticipate any weather or sailing complexities.

Ask me what "Breva" and "Tivano" are, or ask me anything you'd like to know about Lake Como.

OUR SPEEDBOAT

Our boat "Brezza di Como" is a Marinello EDEN 18 Evo : length 5.25 m, width 2.25 m, Yamaha power 115 hp, max capacity 6 people.

This is a powerful boat, yet easy and very agile to maneuver. Touring with boats of this size is perfect on Lake Como because their compact dimensions and agility allow for closer exploration of the shoreline, intimate coves, and smaller docking areas that larger boats cannot access.

Come aboard the "Brezza di Como" and enjoy an amazing and unforgettable tour amidst the beauty of Lake Como!

Contact us to book your tour or for a customized quote for a full-day tour. Boat tours are available daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM . Please note that the boat has a max capacity of 5 passengers .

Send me a WhatsApp message for more information or to make a booking. Please specify the tour you are interested in, as well as your preferred date and time.

Dama di Bellagio

Born and raised on the shores of Lake Garda, I was initially fascinated by the world of flying and aviation thanks to my father who was a military pilot. Then, living in this beautiful place, the “call” of water became stronger and stronger so I was able to get in touch with very high-level activities in both the world of regatta and leisure sailing, thus easily ranging from the America’s Cup to the developememt of Maxi Sail Yachts.

All this has made it possible to enormously expand my horizons linked to my passion for water. After the long “international” parenthesis, I was in fact, for some years in command of a historic sailing ship sailing right on Lake Garda.

Now I am happy to start a collaboration in Lake Como with Bellagio Sailing as the skipper of Dama di Bellagio.

I began sailing dinghies when I was 15 on Lake Como , then I eventually cross the Atlantic for the first time in 2006 while I was studying geology at the University, and year after year my passion became a real job, that make me sail across the oceans on boats from Oceanis 36’ to Swan 76’. In around 10 years of time I did 30.000+ NM of deliveries and charter, both as captain and crew in the Med, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. From 2010 to 2018 I worked as skipper and first mate on different kind of sail boats everywhere in the world.

In 2019 Carlo gave me the opportunity to start a collaboration with Bellagio Sailing as skipper of Stai Serena
