ABOUT US

We are Federico and Cristina. In January 2019, we saw our dream boat, an Alpa 38, and decided that it was the right moment to start our new adventure. Shortly after, we created Bellagio Yacht Experience. After a bit of TLC and a few upgrades, Rafilù was finally ready to set sail.

Sailing is the perfect activity to relax and have fun while enjoying the astonishing beauty of Lake Como. Every tour is uniquely tailored to fit our customers’ needs and desires, making them feel cocooned and part of our family.

Federico has 10 years of experience as a sailing instructor on the lake, besides being a crew member on vintage vessels during historical regattas. He also served as 2nd officer on a tall ship cruising the Mediterranean. He is a proficient mechanic, an expert restorer of vintage boats, a professional diver, and last but not least, the skipper of Rafilù.

Besides being an expert sailor herself, Cristina is also the creative mind behind Bellagio Yacht Experience. Thanks to her incredible eye for detail and tasteful touch, she will ensure every aspect of your experience is perfect. When renting our gozzo, she will tell you the best spots to enjoy the lake as well as some helpful driving advice.

We will do everything possible to make your tour, wedding, birthday, or event unforgettable and to show you the hidden gems of Lake Como.

All our tours are private, personalized, and have no hidden fees.

Meet Rafilù — your private 38ft sailing escape on Lake Como

Step on board Rafilù and let Lake Como slow down for a moment. This is not just a boat ride — it’s the quiet sound of the water, the wind in the sails, and the feeling of having the lake all to yourself.

With a comfortable sundeck, onboard restroom, and a relaxed atmosphere, Rafilù is designed for unforgettable moments: villas drifting by, a swim in crystal water, and a glass of Prosecco at the perfect time of day.

Choose your duration, bring your favorite people, and we’ll take care of everything.

 Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. What an amazing experience! This truly was the highlight of our 2 days on Bellagio. Getting to see the towns from the Lake was truly so wonderful and we could have had better weather. Our captain was wonderful, easy to talk to and asked us what we wanted to see and had great suggestions. He had so much knowledge about the lake and was so wonderful (see picture we took with him!). Couldn’t recommend this more!

 Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. Booking this was super easy online and payment was due at time of service. My group and I booked our own charter for 6 hours and it cost just under $500 US. We were a group of four and felt this was a reasonable price to have most of a day out on the lake. Hands down this is the way to see Lake Como. The freedom to bop around to look at villas and park to swim whenever you want was worth it to us. We brought out own food and drink on board with no issue. All the staff we interacted with were so kind and enjoyable. BYE was also flexible, allowing us to change our reservation time the day before booking to accommodate predicted bad weather. Thank you, BYE!

 Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. Amazing Boat Rental Experience on Lake Como! We had a fantastic experience renting a boat here. Everything was clean and well-maintained, and the team was incredibly flexible with timing and rental duration. If you’re someone who owns a boat or spends a lot of time on the water, this is truly the only way to go — hassle-free and efficient. The rental process was seamless, and they gave us excellent recommendations on the best time of day to go out, which made our time on the lake even more special.
