A late-afternoon sun slides over the mountains framing Lake Como; the bow parts glassy water and the town roofs glint as you glide past villas and cypress-lined gardens. Onboard BOWIE, a 42-foot classic sailboat, the lake feels intimate—waves nudging the hull, a soft playlist over Bluetooth, and an aperitif offered as the shoreline stories begin.

History

Lake Como’s villas and gardens reflect aristocratic and mercantile wealth from Renaissance and 18th‑century patrons; many villas were later transformed into public museums and hotels.

Conservation

Boat traffic and shoreline development affect water quality and habitats; follow skipper guidance, avoid littering, and minimize anchoring in sensitive reedbeds.

Adventure tips

Sun protection is essentialEven in spring or late afternoon, reflected sun from the water increases UV exposure—bring sunscreen and sunglasses.

Non-slip footwearWear grippy shoes to move safely on deck when the boat heels or gets wet.

Ask before swimmingConfirm with the skipper about designated swim stops and current conditions before jumping in.

Bring a light jacketWind can be cool on open water—pack a windbreaker even on warm days.

Recommended gear

Sunscreen (SPF 30+): Protects skin from strong lake reflections during exposed cruising.
Non-slip deck shoes: Provides traction on wet surfaces and comfort while moving around the boat.
Light windproof jacket: Blocks sudden breezes on open water and during cooler evenings.
Swimsuit and quick-dry towel: Useful if you plan to swim in designated spots during the tour.
