About this experience
After a whole day fighting with your duties and thoughts you better switch off your brain, jump on sail boat and leave the shores behind!
Eastern side of Lake Como is beautiful sunsets and stunning landscapes.
Imagine yourself in the middle of the lake gently floating, looking at the colors changing around you and above your head, legs swinging out of the boat, slightly touching the water, a glass of Prosecco in your hands and picking some food every now and then...
Isn’t this the best way to escape from your thoughts and energize yourself?! You just need to relax and enjoy this magical experience that truly connects adventure, nature, freedom and summer feelings.
You can also jump in the clear waters if you want to completely wash away your day…
