Custom boat tours in Venice
The tours in the calendar are our tried-and-tested itineraries, but the boat is yours for the whole charter: if you have a different route in mind, a time you can't find online or a special occasion, we'll put it together with you in the chat.
We usually reply within a few hours, in English or Italian.
What we can change
Just about anything that fits into a day out on the lagoon.
The route
Murano, Burano and Torcello, the quiet villages of the southern lagoon, the canals almost nobody takes, or a trip that only visits the places you care about. If you don't know the lagoon yet, tell us what you'd like to see and we'll suggest the route.
The length
Under an hour for a sunset run, half a day to step ashore on the islands without rushing, or a full day with stops for lunch and a swim. The price follows the charter time and the route.
The time of day
Early morning with the lagoon still empty, midday light on the islands, or the last hour before sunset over St Mark's Basin. If a time isn't in the site's calendar, just ask — more often than not it's still possible.
The pick-up point
We can collect you near your hotel or anywhere convenient in the city and drop you off wherever suits you at the end — airport and Punta Sabbioni transfers included.
A few ideas
The requests we get most often, though the list isn't closed.
- A proposal or an anniversary, with the anchor dropped in the right spot at the right moment.
- Photo and video shoots, with the boat held where you need it and the light you had in mind.
- Birthdays, hen and stag parties, dinners and toasts on board.
- Family days out, with swimming stops and a pace that works for children.
- Sunset drinks over St Mark's Basin, with departure timed to the minute.
- Private transfers to and from Marco Polo airport, with a scenic detour on the way.
How it works
- 1Message us on WhatsApp and tell us what you have in mind: a couple of lines is enough, we'll work out the details together.
- 2We reply with a suggested route, how long it takes and the price for the whole boat, with no obligation.
- 3Once it all fits, we lock in the date and time and you get a confirmation with the exact meeting point.
What helps us answer straight away
None of it is required, but with these four things we can come back with a ready-made proposal.
- The dates you're in Venice and, if you have one, your preferred time.
- How many of you there are, adults and children.
- Roughly how long you'd like to be out on the water.
- The occasion, or the places you don't want to miss.
Tell us what kind of day you're picturing
Even a vague idea is enough: we're Venetians, we know the lagoon, and the fastest way to find out whether it can be done is to ask us.
