What you can expect

Set off from Zattere for an exclusive tour on board a traditional Venetian boat, hand-restored by local craftsmen.

The cruise begins along the Giudecca Canal, passing by the Mulino Stucky, a former industrial complex now converted into an elegant five-star hotel. From here, a breathtaking view of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Venetian Lagoon unfolds: a tranquil, open space where you will be served a glass of wine in a Murano glass goblet, which you can enjoy as the water gently flows around you.

Continuing on, you will pass under the Longo Bridge and be able to admire the beautiful façade of the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer and the silhouette of the Punta della Dogana. The boat will stop near the Basin of San Marco to give you time to take photos and enjoy the unparalleled view of St. Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace, seen from a rare and privileged vantage point: the water.

Your tour continues, taking in the Arsenale and the historic skyline of the Castello district, the Giardini della Biennale, 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 Zattere.

An immersive and authentic experience, perfect for those who want to discover the quietest and most enchanting side of Venice, amidst wood, glass, and the slow rhythm of the lagoon.
