Private boat with captain in Venice
The lagoon at your own pace: a boat all to yourselves, with our captain, by the hour or for the whole day. We leave from your hotel's pier and go wherever you like: the islands, the Grand Canal, a dinner across the lagoon.

Where we take you
-
The lagoon islands
Murano for glass, Burano for its coloured houses and lace, Torcello for the cathedral and the quiet. With a private boat you see all three without vaporetto timetables.

The Grand Canal at sunset
The palazzi, the Rialto Bridge and the Salute from the water as the light drops. An hour that is enough to see Venice differently.

Dinner on the islands
We take you to the restaurant on the islands and wait for the ride back: no last-vaporetto deadline.
-
A boat at your disposal
For the day: hotel, meetings, shopping, lunch. The captain waits and takes you to the next stop.
-
Events from the water
The Redentore, the Regata Storica, the Carnival festivities: we tell you where boats may stay under each event's rules.

A proposal or a special occasion
Flowers, champagne, a photographer, the right spot on the lagoon: we take care of the details.

On Lake Como too
On Lake Como we arrange private boats with captain through local operators we select: Bellagio, Varenna and the villas on the shore, with the car transfer from Milan or Venice already part of the plan.
Frequently asked questions
How many people fit in a private boat?
Our boats in Venice seat eight. For larger groups we use several boats travelling together.
Where do we leave from?
From your hotel's pier, if it has one, or the nearest landing. We can also collect you at Marco Polo Airport and start from there.
Can we book by the hour?
Yes, by the hour or for the whole day. Tell us what you would like to see and we suggest the right time and a fixed price.
Is the captain a guide?
The captain knows the lagoon and tells you about what you see, but is not a licensed tour guide. For a guided visit, we add a private guide.
What happens in bad weather?
If weather or tides do not allow a safe outing, we offer another time or date. The captain makes the call.
