For sailors
A day sail, with an instructor
Spend a day on our sailing boats with an instructor who has always known Lake Como: the winds, the most beautiful corners of the upper lake, the school's fleet.
- the whole boat, instructor included — or €50 per person
- €150
- our base on the upper lake
- Domaso
- open plan, decided together
- 1 day
What you take home
- The winds and the right spots. The Tivano in the morning, the Breva in the afternoon: we've been sailing here since 1982 and know where and when the lake is at its best — and which corners deserve an extra tack.
- Confidence with the fleet. A day at the helm of the school's boats, getting to know them up close: rig, manoeuvres, equipment.
- Towards sailing on your own. Our members rent the school's boats independently. The first outing is always with an instructor, to get to know the boat and the lake: after that, you're free to sail on your own.
The whole boat
€150 per boat
The boat and the instructor for you and your crew, on the date you prefer: instant confirmation.
Join a crew
€50 per person
Join a shared outing: we set sail once the boat is full.
Both options include the boat, the equipment and a dedicated instructor for the whole day — something you'd usually pay extra for elsewhere, up to €90 a day.
Only around for a few days or weeks a year? This day is made for visitors too: sail with us once, and next time you're back you'll find a fleet you already know. We're happy to sail in English.
Never sailed before? Start with your first day sailing.

Frequently asked questions
If you can't find the answer you're looking for, contact us and we'll be happy to help.
- What should I bring with me on board?
- A packed lunch is a good idea, and you should always bring plenty of water. Trainers, comfortable clothes in layers (with a waterproof outer layer), a windproof jacket, a hat and sunglasses (ideally with a retaining strap), and sunscreen. Bring a buoyancy aid if you have one — if not, we will provide one for you.
- Do I have to become a member to take part?
- Yes. As an association, all of our activities are for members: on top of the course or cruise price there is the membership card (€50 a year), which includes insurance. It is not a service fee but your membership of Annje Bonnje — it lasts the whole year and also gives you access to the other courses, the cruises and the events at our clubhouse.
- Do I need a medical certificate?
- Yes. For insurance reasons you must provide a medical certificate for non-competitive sporting activity — ask your doctor for a "certificato medico per attività sportiva non agonistica".
- Are you a company?
- No. Annje Bonnje is a non-profit amateur sports association (in Italian, an "associazione sportiva dilettantistica", or asd). Everything on this site is organised by members and for members, and the prices shown cover the costs incurred and the teaching itself — they are a sharing of expenses, not a margin.
