About this experience
A mornig session on Lake Como to approach sailing and get some good knowledges. Morning winds can be challenging sometimes, but can you imagine yourselves only in the middle of the lake? Yup, it can be pretty cold too out there in winter, but that’s how you can feel alive and truly forget the rest for a while. Meet our sailboat and let her be your new friend. She makes a good coffee too!
You’ll be sailing on the eastern side of Lake Como helping the skipper on board and gaining confidence with a sailboat. You’ll enjoy beautiful landscapes and mystic atmospheres. You can answer to your sailing curiosities and test yourself.
It’s not all about “work” though! Ask for a coffee on board while you’re sailing… And when the sailing session is over stay with us at the Bay and enjoy some good Pasta for lunch. Like friends sharing a morning away from stress, boredom, problems and daily routine.
