What fun! Met Luca at his boat, with four other passengers. I am an experienced sailor, and the others were first-timers, so it was fun to see them get excited about the adventure, and learning to hoist the sails and work jib sheets. Light wind conditions on a beautiful fall afternoon picked up to some quite sporty wind and gusts that changed our sail plan to the finish. But Luca is a pro, who maintained his composure and control of the boat, and kept everyone safe for a rollicking ride into a sheltered harbor. Lake Como is just stunning, and to see it from the water is incomparable.

Luca was awesome!! We had never been sailing before and he was able to show us some helpful tips on the basics of sailing. We were able to enjoy the beautiful Lake Como and enjoy a nice drink in one of the small towns on Lake Como. For the price you pay, you will not find a better experience!!

We had a great time learning to sail with Luca! He’s super knowledgeable about sailing and taught us the basics of how to set up the sailboat and steer it. If you’re looking for an educational experience in a beautiful location, book this!!!

An incredible first time sailing experience for me! At first, it was just myself and a friend who booked the experience (separately)--no other bookings. Then my friend had to cancel. I asked Luca if he still wanted to continue, and he did! What a personalized experience--Luca gently taught me how to be safe and set up the boat, and let me steer for over half of the trip. My favorite part was when we spotted a large floating piece of plastic (a bag), and we circled it, trying to retrieve it from the lake. This kind of care to the environment is core to Luca's ethos. He also dropped me off on the other side of the lake, since that's where I've been staying (saving me a 1.5 hour commute back). I cannot recommend Luca enough--I already joined an Italian sailing club (unrelated to Luca) and signed up for beginning sailing lessons! If you're on the fence--don't hesitate--book this experience with Luca!!
