I am Alessandro Rossi, and I'm the captain of Brezza di Como, the speedboat that will take you and your loved ones on amazing tours of Lake Como.
I have been sailing Lake Como since I was a teenager. Sailing so frequently on the lake, I know at any moment how the winds blow and can anticipate any weather or sailing complexities.
