Venice Private Boat Transfer

location_on Venice, Italy schedule 1 hours

Overview

Cross Venice by private water taxi, with your party and suitcases on one boat. You travel across the lagoon and along the canals to the jetty nearest your hotel, seeing the city from the water as you go.

Highlights

  • Private boat: The boat is yours alone, with no waterbus queues.
  • Luggage sorted: The easiest way to move people and bags in a city without roads.
  • Canal-level views: Palaces, churches and bridges slide past at close range.
  • Lagoon crossing: Open water and island views on airport routes.

Good to know

  • Time on site: About 1 hour, depending on route and canal traffic.
  • Activity level: Seated most of the way; you step down into the boat from a jetty, and the deck rocks in the wake of other boats.
  • Pairs well with: A Private Gondola Boat Ride for a slower look at the smaller canals.

Facts

History

  • Venice and its Lagoon became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987; the lagoon area takes in 118 islands.
  • The Grand Canal runs just over 3 km through the city in a reverse-S curve and is crossed by only four bridges.

Did you know?

  • The Rialto is the oldest of those four bridges; the newest, designed by Santiago Calatrava, was unveiled in 2008.
  • The Consorzio Motoscafi Venezia alone brings together about 100 licensed water-taxi operators.

Tour manager tips

  • Hand luggage to the driver and step aboard one at a time – the deck moves with every wake.
  • Anyone prone to motion sickness should sit facing forward, in the open air where possible.
  • Keep passports and phones zipped away; anything dropped in the canal is gone for good.
