Exclusive Lake Como Boat Tours
Discover the beauty of Lake Como on our 34ft sailing boat, where private cruises are designed for travelers who value authenticity, genuine human connection and the gentle rhythm of slow luxury. Each experience is an exclusive private Lake Como boat tour, personally guided by Paolo — owner and skipper, shaped by thoughtful Italian hospitality, with welcome coffee and aperitivo on board.
Our passion for Lake Como was born over 45 years ago, with the first rowing trips and fishermen excursions on a small dinghy. Experiencing the lake in every season shaped our love for both motoring and sailing, transforming a lifelong connection with the water into a way of life. Today, that passion comes to life aboard our Bavaria 34 Style, launched in 2023, offering authentic and refined boat tours on Lake Como inspired by tradition and experience.

Posted on Laura HoffmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the most incredible experience with Tre Nodi sailing! We chose the 4 hour motor boat tour which was a fantastic experience. Paolo, our guide and owner of the company, was not only kind, personable but also incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Lake Como and its charming towns. He picked us up right in Varenna where we were staying, which made things so convenient. The weather was perfect and cruising across Lake Como gave us the most stunning views. Along the way, we visited beautiful Bellagio, stopped at the San Giovanni church, and even enjoyed the best gelato in Lenno courtesy of Paolo, such a thoughtful and delicious surprise! It truly felt like a personalized, memorable tour. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to experience Lake Como. I highly recommend Tre Nodi Sailing and Paolo for anyone visiting the area!Posted on Gina RosselliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family and I and I visited Lake Como in July 2025. We had the most wonderful experience sailing on Lake Como with Tre Nodi Sailing. Captain Paolo and his assistant Sebastian made the day unforgettable. Paolo has such a gift for storytelling. We learned so much about the history and beauty of the region from him, and it gave the whole experience so much more depth and meaning. Further, Paolo not only gave us a history lesson, he recommended restaurants and other sights of interest in the area of Lake Como. The boat we sailed in is beautiful and comfortable. We are a large group, so we had two boats to accommodate our family. During the trip, we stopped for a little dip in the lake and for some delicious treats. Paolo cut a few melons for us to enjoy Italian style, along with sone champagne. Beyond the sailing itself, what stood out the most to me was Paolo’s kindness. When my mom and I were trying to figure out how much to tip, he gently explained that it wasn’t necessary and encouraged us instead to give to someone in need in our own country. That really struck me. It says so much about who he is and the heart behind what he does. I would recommend this sailing experience to absolutely anyone and everyone visiting Lake Como. It’s not just a boat ride, it’s a memory you’ll carry with you.Posted on Hilda CarbajalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Manuela and Paolo were wonderful to work with! Booking was very easy, and Manuela handled it seamlessly! Paolo was on board and gave us the most amazing tour of Lake Como! He gave us the right amount of information about the villas and the lake, but also let us enjoy the sunshine and spectacular views. We had five children on board (all under 10) and he was so friendly and flexible with the itinerary to accommodate their interests. The kids enjoyed the ride and swimming in the lake with the floats that Paolo provided! We also docked and feasted on delicious Prosecco and a fruit spread that Paolo and Manuela had prepared. Highly recommend!!Posted on Andrea McAuliffeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our day with Paolo was wonderful! He was a knowledgeable and caring host - sharing lots of information about the area as we sailed. He made every effort to ensure we were comfortable and was especially considerate of our baby. Manuela was polite and prompt in all communications leading up to our sail and even helped us arrange a taxi to the dock. We will be recommending to any friends visiting Lake Como in the future!Posted on Franco RomanoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Grande uscita a vela con la magnifica barca di Trenodisailing. Siamo partiti da Varenna e abbiamo veleggiato fino a Colico con un bel vento da sud. Prima di entrare nel bellissimo porto di Colico Paolo ci ha offerto un delizioso aperivo a base di prodotti tipici valtellinesi accompagnati da un buonissimo prosecco italiano. Torneremo prima della fine della stagione per rivive questa indimenticabile esperienza. Grazie!Posted on Roberto RomanoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ho voluto fare un tour in barca a vela per provare l'esperienza di timonare una barca nel centro lago. È stata un esperienza indimenticabile abbiamo anche utilizzato il bellissimo jennacker tricolore verde bianco e rosso.Posted on Alessandra TagliabueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sono stata in tour con Paolo e Manuela...ottima professionalità... ero con amici a Bellano e loro ci hanno fatto vivere un'esperienza unica e meravigliosa che consiglio incluso aperitivo con prodotti tipici locali.Posted on Marco LoscoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. we stayed on Lake Como for a few days, and this tour was definitely the most wonderful memory, we saw beautiful unforgettable places hosted by Paolo, a very nice and genuine man who told us a little bit about everything we were watching, everything on his very nice boat.Posted on Lorenzo PisoniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
