What to expect

You'll board at the dock and cast off into the open water of Lake Como. The boat moves under sail—expect gentle rolling and the sound of wind and water rather than engine noise. Your skipper navigates past waterfront estates and fishing villages, offering commentary on their history and significance. As light fades, you'll anchor or drift slowly whilst enjoying wine poured at a leisurely pace, paired with cheese, cured meats, olives or similar fare. Bring a light layer; water-side temperatures drop as evening sets in.
