Top Venice Sailing Trips

What a fun experience! The catamaran is large and spacious, the scenery is the lagoon of Venice, the entertainment was a great jazz saxophonist playing with a great sound track, and the bar served generous-portions - what more can you want. Well, there’s perfect weather - which we were blessed with and someone to share the experience with - check! I loved the experience and recommend it.

This was a wonderful sunset cruise… the weather was perfect ! The crew were excellent brought your drinks … friendly and so attentive.. We especially enjoyed all of the history we learned about areas of Venice we never saw . We highly recommend this beautiful Sunset Cruise …the ship and crew were just amazing ! Thank you K & J

It is only 30 minutes and no longer at the most. Sometimes, the gondola can be a little shakey if the wind is blowing.

Really great cruise. Going to a very different part of Venice. Just 4 of us and so good, Prosecco flowed but Marco stopped to get my husband who doesn’t drink a soft drink.

Our family of four (including two teenage boys) experienced the private gondola ride. Our gondolier was quite reticent, but that actually was a positive for us as we were able to relax and enjoy the beautiful views without interruption.

Listen to me. This was an incredibly fun experience. Marco is a gem. The Proseco flows. The boat is unlike any other. It’s much more intimate than the giant tour boats you see in the canals and lagoons. It’s like you’re transported back to a simpler time. You can reach over the side of the boat and touch the water. You can stand up and hold onto the mast. It’s special. You’ll go places you wouldn’t expect. Marco took us to a Sicialian pizza stand on a remote island. He bargained for more Proseco and asked to make sure it was cold. The guy is like a pirate captain with Prada sunglasses. He’s Anthony Bourdain as a boat captain. This was an amazing experience. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Since we had been to Venice before, we just wanted to enjoy our day, the sun, and the water. So, it was great to hop on a comfortable boat with a flexible captain and have a great afternoon slowly driving around the Venice area outer islands. We did not have lunch on the boat, but we did have some drinks and a wonderful snack. After a swim and a trip walk around Burano, we got to enjoy the rest of the ride back to our starting point. It was just what we asked for.

We did not have lunch, so I cannot comment. We had been to Venice before, so we specifically asked to mostly cruise the islands and stop at Burano to walk around. Ernesto was very flexible and worked around our wishes. We mostly wanted to be away from crowds and enjoy the sun and water. So, we had a slow cruise around the small islands , we enjoyed a couple drinks, we enjoyed the sun and a quick swim. For us, it was perfect.

It was amazing and great service, definitely worth the buy to see Venice in sunset hour. Definitely bring cash so you can buy drinks and tip the bartender!

Great boat ride! The music, the food, drinks, and the saxophone playing was fantastic. Also, the wait staff was excellent. If you’re looking for a way to see all of the islands from the water, then this is your tour.

This boat ride was the highlight of our time in Venice. Our captain arrived a bit late, but more than made up for it with a bit of an extended tour and lots of Prosecco! The meeting point was a bit difficult to find as the building number provided was not the exact spot; however, the captain called to confirm the meeting point (The small bar in front of the hotel Experimental). We were able to see so many parts of Venice that we had missed by just walking on foot. Be prepared for a few splashes as you cross the larger canals and head into the ocean, but they were welcome in the summer heat! We would highly recommend this tour, just contact the Captain a day or 2 in advance to verify the time and meeting point.

Marco was super awesome. He was very kind and made sure to show us all of Venice and point out landmarks as well as explain their history. He also brought his dog! It was a fantastic experience and I would 100%recommend it.

Worth every penny!! The boat ride is not overly long, but my wife loved it!! We played classical Venetian music and our gondolier was great!

We enjoyed the ride and entering the gondola was made easy with the entrice point further into the city.

A wonderful, romantic and chilled evening against a Venetian top backdrop. Super cool crew makes you feel like the evening is organized especially for “us”. A treat not only for the eye and ear.

Nice, quiet boat trip, plenty of room on the boat, great service - highly recommended 🫶
