Overview

The lagoon fortifications can only be reached with private boats: they offer a rarer view on Venice, usually out of reach of mass tourism. The fortification system of the lagoon of Venice includes: Forte Sant’Andrea /St. Andrews Fort), built in the second half of the XVI century, that rises at the Lido “bocca di porto”, port entrance of the lagoon. Definitely is the most suggestive and the part that contains the most history. Torre Massimiliana (Maximilian Tower) of Sant’Erasmo, built by Austrians during the second half of the XIX century; Forte Vecchio (Old Fort) of Treporti that sued to control the water access to the northern part of the lagoon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I get seasick on Private Cruise: Historical Fortifications in the Lagoon of Venice?

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
