The rush is instant. The G is real.
Spray in your face. Full speed ahead. Our pilots live for this, and they coach you from first wobble to flat out carving. Only on Lake Como. You will foil, guaranteed.
The Earn Your Wings experience
Most Lake Como experiences, you watch. This one, you feel.
You arrive having never flown above water. A few hours later, you’re foiling and carving smooth turns like a fighter pilot, wondering why nobody told you sooner.
Learn to fly on water
No boating or foiling experience? No problem.
Never touched a boat’s controls? Perfect. Spent your life on the water? You’ve never felt anything like this. Either way, if you’re 18+, able to swim, and under 100kg, you’re ready to fly.
We coach you through a headset the whole way: your first lift, then sustained flight, and finally controlled turns.
Everything changes once you rise from the surface. The drag disappears, the noise fades, and you experience the unexpected acceleration, the agility, and the thrill of a machine that seems to ignore the rules of what a boat can do.
Better shared
Bring your friend or book for two and take turns flying
Bring your partner or best friend, someone who’ll enjoy doing something slightly ridiculous together while creating memories that last.
They can ride along on the support boat, or simply relax at Nautilus Beach, the only private beach on Lake Como.
Most guests book Earn Your Wings as a pair and take turns flying. And if you’d rather give the feeling than keep it for yourself, a flight makes a gift people genuinely don’t forget
Earn Your Wings
Leave with proof, not just a memory
Back at the dock, you’ll receive your Earn Your Wings Flight Certificate, Pilot Cap, and the photos and videos from your session.
You’ll leave with proof that you’ve just done something most people will only ever watch from a screen, and with a story that starts:
“You know that trip we took to Lake Como…”
The only place where it’s possible
Lake Como, Italy
The Foilone Center is on the eastern shore of Lake Como, just north of Lecco at Hotel Nautilus.
Learn to fly
100% Foiling Guarantee
Two ways to learn ⎸ One guarantees flight
The eFoil way
Book an intro session. Get on the board to learn the basics. Maybe you lift off, maybe you don’t. Then go home and wait.
Come back for a second session. More attempts, more falls, more money spent, still no promise you’ll ever fly consistently.
Most people need 4–6 sessions before they foil. You can do the math.
Nothing wrong with eFoils. They’re a real way to start, but we’re here to offer another.
The Foilone way
Arrive at the dock. Step into the Pegasus, the hand-built electric boat purpose-built to fly.
Within 45 minutes, you’re flying. With the same sensation of speed, precision and control that professional riders chase.
During Earn Your Wings, you are the pilot, not a passenger. When the hull lifts clear, it’s unlike anything else on the water.
One session. One price. One outcome: you fly.
If you don’t? Full refund. No questions asked.

From first lift to full private progression. This doesn’t exist anywhere else. Lake Como, Italy, is the only place you’ll fly a Pegasus.

Frequently asked questions
Nervous about trying it?
That’s completely normal. Most guests arrive with zero foiling or boating experience, and the progression starts slowly and builds naturally, step by step.
You’re never pushed beyond your comfort level.
Do I need prior experience?
Not at all. Our experiences are designed for first-time riders.
We guide you step by step through the progression using live headset coaching and a dedicated support boat, so all of our new pilots reach controlled flight during their very first session.
The experience is private too, paced around your comfort level and adapted in real time as you progress.
Is it safe?
Safety is built into the entire experience.
You’ll wear a life vest and protective equipment, and the session is supervised at all times by both a coach and a dedicated support boat. The progression starts slowly and builds step by step as your confidence grows, though you should still expect to get wet while learning.
All safety decisions are made by Foilone.
How is this different from renting a boat?
This is not a traditional rental-experience.
Instead, our experiences are guided hydrofoiling flights with live coaching, safety supervision, progression training, and a dedicated support crew throughout the session.
The goal is not just to ride. It’s to experience controlled flight over water
Can we book as a couple or with a friend?
Yes. Earn Your Wings is designed for 1–2 riders per session, while the Ace Flight Experience suits 1–4 riders.
Many guests book together as couples or friends and take turns riding, while coaching and progression continue throughout the session.
For larger groups or private experiences, just contact us directly. And if you book a session for yourself, you can still bring a friend or partner along on the support boat.
Will I actually learn to fly the boat?
We call foiling with the boat “flying,” so yes, you really will learn how to fly it.
The experience is structured around progression, not simply “trying” the boat. Throughout the session, your coach keeps adjusting the pace based on your confidence and skill level.
What does flying feel like?
The moment the boat lifts, everything changes.
The noise drops away, the water resistance disappears, and the ride becomes smooth and incredibly responsive. Most people describe it as the closest thing to flying over water.
How long is the experience?
Try Foiling runs 1 hour 15 min, Earn Your Wings 2 hours, and the Ace Flight Experience 4 hours.
Each session includes a briefing and the on-water progression. Note that pick-up transfer time is not included in the 4-hour Ace Flight Experience.
Does weather affect the session?
Safety and ride quality always come first.
So if conditions become unsuitable due to strong wind, storms, or unsafe water, we’ll reschedule your session based on availability.
Light rain alone does not necessarily stop operations, and we monitor Lake Como conditions continuously throughout the day.
What's the cancellation policy?
Cancellation is free up to 7 days before your session, and you can cancel directly via your booking confirmation link.
A 50% refund applies 2–6 days before, so if you’re cancelling within 6 days, please reach out to como@foil.one. Within 2 days, no refund is available, and no-shows are non-refundable.
This policy is in place so we can secure our workforce throughout the season.
Is there a weight limit?
Yes. For operational and safety reasons, the maximum participant weight is 100 kg, and guests confirm this at booking.
What should I bring?
Just bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, and a good attitude.
We provide the wetsuit, safety equipment, coaching headset, and everything else needed for the experience.
Which language are sessions in?
All safety briefings and coaching are conducted in English, so a basic understanding of the language is required to participate safely.
The coaching itself is simple, clear, and continuous through wireless headsets while you ride. Our coaches also speak Spanish, Swedish, and Finnish, so please consult us before booking if English isn’t an option for you.
Why are only limited sessions available each day?
Each session requires a dedicated boat, a coach, preparation time, and a recovery window between rides.
So to maintain quality and safety, we run only a limited number of experiences per day.
Is this suitable as a gift?
Absolutely. The experience makes a perfect gift between couples, and equally for birthdays, honeymooners, luxury gifting, bachelor groups, and corporate clients.
Just make sure all participants meet the requirements.
Do I get photos or videos?
Yes, and this is one of those experiences people really do want to share.
Flying above the water on Lake Como creates moments that feel unreal on camera and even better in person, so you’ll have the option to opt in during your briefing if you’d like content from your session.
What are the requirements to ride?
Minimum age: 18 or older.
Weight: under 100 kg (220 lbs).
Swimming: participant must be able to swim confidently.
Health: no major health conditions.
