Panoramic Tour by Motor Boat

                This excursion, by private non-air conditioned launch, has been created for guests who wish to view this amazing island in its entirety, without any walking involved. Words cannot adequately describe the majesty of Venice as it is revealed from its most dramatic perspective, the water. You will cruise along the Giudecca Canal with the enchanting view of St. Mark’s basin. Cruising towards the Lido, a long strip of land dividing the lagoon of Venice from the Adriatic Sea and which is a famous summer resort, the launch will enter the northern part of the lagoon.

               See the Arsenal, the old shipyard of the “Serenissima” Republic, and the ancient church of San Pietro di Castello, the city’s cathedral until the beginning of the 19th century. Coasting the typical western districts of Castello and Cannaregio, with the long stretch called “Fondamente Nuove”, the launch will pass the island of San Michele and the Venice cemetery, leading you to the island of Murano, renowned for its blown glass products.

                The launch will cruise across the main canal of the island, the Canale Grande di Murano, which divides the island into two halves. As the launch points back towards Venice’s center, it will coast the Island of the Armenians, famous for its ancient monastery, before approaching again St. Mark’s basin, with a splendid view of St. George’s Island and St. Mark’s Square.
