The Venice lagoon is far more than the Grand Canal: 550 km² of shallow water dotted with islands, salt marshes and navigable channels that most visitors never see, because they stay within a two-hour walk of St Mark's Square. By boat those distances take minutes, and in half a day you reach places the vaporetti don't serve and coach groups never stop at.
Murano is the closest: glass furnaces that have been burning for eight centuries, and a main canal best taken slowly from the water. Burano, with its fishermen's houses painted red, blue and green and its lacemaking tradition, is the most photographed spot in the northern lagoon. Torcello is where Venice began: a few dozen people live there today, but the cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta still holds its 11th-century Byzantine mosaics. Further south, Malamocco and the Lido show a different lagoon of quiet villages and beaches, while Poveglia and San Francesco del Deserto add the pull of the near-deserted islands.
In the last hour of daylight St Mark's Basin changes completely: the Doge's Palace, the Salute and San Giorgio Maggiore take on a warm light that from land you only glimpse one monument at a time. From the water you see them all at once, with no crowd in front of you. That's why we recommend the sunset tour to anyone with a single evening in Venice.
Departures are from a jetty in central Venice, a few minutes' walk from the main vaporetto stops; the exact address comes with your confirmation email. Life jackets for adults and children are on board. We suggest comfortable shoes, a light sweater even in summer — it gets cooler out on the water — and sunglasses.
Marco is 27 years old and a Venice native — the lagoon is his home turf. Having grown up around boats and engines, he turned his greatest passion into his job, taking travelers from all over the world out on the water. On board with him, you'll find more than an experienced captain: someone genuinely happy to show you Venice through the eyes of a local.
