What you can expect

  • Depart from the Zattere for an exclusive tour on board a typical Venetian boat, restored by hand by local artisans.

    The cruise begins along the Giudecca Canal, passing by the Stucky Mill, a former industrial complex now converted into an elegant five-star hotel. From here, the breathtaking panorama of the lagoon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, opens up: a quiet, open space where you will be served a glass of wine in a Murano glass, to be enjoyed as the water flows slowly around you.

    Continuing on, you will cross the Ponte Longo and admire the beautiful façade of the Redentore and the silhouette of 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, seen from a rare and privileged vantage point: the water.

    The tour continues, passing by the Arsenale and the historic outlines of the Castello district, the Biennale Gardens and the imposing Church of San Giorgio Maggiore. Cruising along the opposite shore, 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 breath of the lagoon.
