What To Expect

Torcello

While sailing from Burano to San Francesco del Deserto we will pass through to the island of Torcello, the oldest in the Venetian lagoon.

Our skippers will tell you curiosities and legends related to this fascinating place, cradle of Venetian civilization. A short but suggestive panoramic bracket that enriches the tour with the millenary history of Torcello, without going ashore.

After a walk through the narrow streets and canals, you will have free time to discover the island at your own pace: take photos, browse the craft shops or simply enjoy the tranquility of the place. For those who wish, it will be possible to attend a brief demonstration of the ancient buranello lace, symbol of the Venetian female tradition.

San Francesco del Deserto

During the tour, we will sail alongside the island of San Francesco del Deserto, one of the most spiritual and hidden places in the lagoon. Visible only by sea, the island is home to an ancient convent still inhabited by Franciscan friars, immersed in silence and nature. Our skippers will tell you the fascinating story of this place, where St. Francis of Assisi stopped in 1220 on his return from the Holy Land. An evocative passage, off the tourist routes, which offers a moment of peace and contemplation in the quiet waters of the lagoon.
