What you can expect

Depart from Zattere for an exclusive tour aboard a typical Venetian boat, hand-restored by local craftsmen. From here, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the lagoon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site: a quiet, open space where you will be served a glass of wine in a Murano glass, to be enjoyed while the water flows slowly around you.

Continuing on, you will cross the Ponte Longo and admire the splendid facade of the Redentore and the silhouette of the Punta della Dogana. The boat stops near St. Mark's Basin to give you time to take photos and enjoy the unparalleled view of St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace, observed from a rare and privileged vantage point: the water.

The tour continues, touching on the Arsenale and the historical profiles of the Castello district, the Biennale Gardens, and the imposing Church of San Giorgio Maggiore. As you sail along the opposite bank, you can admire the Casa dei Tre Oci and the majestic dome of Santa Maria della Salute, before returning to the Zattere.

An immersive and authentic experience, ideal for those who want to discover the quieter and more fascinating side of Venice, among wood, glass, and the slow pace of the lagoon.
