Lake Como (sail)boat rental

Trying to rent a sail or motor boat on lake como in Italy. Preferably near mid-lake as I'm staying in varenna. Just looking for a small 2-3 seat sailboat ideally.

Rather than 'rental' use the the word 'hire' or 'self hiring' to do your research.
Many more hits that way, same meaning. Good luck.

Best answer: as far as I can find there's a couple places in Lezzeno and Dongo which rent motorboats (and are on the other side of the lake anyway). Your best bet though might be to hook up with the local yachting club in Varenna ([phone]) and ask them for directions (or, maybe, they might rent you a boat?)

Response by poster: We used this place and it was very nice and well run.
