Overview

Venice is one of the most visited cities in Italy. But very few tourists know, in addition to the historical and artistic beauties, the natural wonders that the city offers and in particular those related to its lagoon. Aboard a wooden boat powered by a small motor with a native, you will discover the lagoon and its environment little accessible without a boat. You can observe the Arsenal, symbol of the Serenissima. Heart of the Venetian shipbuilding industry.You will observe the island of Vignole. Formerly called Biniola, or even "of the seven vineyards", you will observe the Island of Lazzaretto Nuovo. In 1468 a decree of the Senate of the Serenissima established a Lazzaretto on the island with the task of preventing infections. The island became a place of "absentia": here the "forty" was prepared for ships arriving from the various Mediterranean ports. We will stop in a "Ghebo" and taste some prosecco and some appetizers, watch the sunset with its magical colors.

What's Included

  • A bottle of prosecco for every two people and snacks. Non-alcoholic aperitif on request
  • Fuel surcharge
  • Bottled water You can request water supplies for the Tour which will already be loaded into the boat.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Aperitif at sunset in the Venice lagoon on a private boat.?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
