About this tour
Board a small motorboat for 90 minutes of Venetian aperitivo cruising across the lagoon's outer reaches. Your skipper serves prosecco and nibbles as you drift past San Marco, Giudecca, San Giorgio and lesser-known islands, threading through quiet canals away from the crowds. The boat holds just 10 passengers, keeping things intimate. You'll return to your starting point with the kind of glow only sunset, bubbles and salt air can deliver.
Highlights
- Prosecco and beer service aboard a 10-seat motorboat
- Views of San Marco, Giudecca, San Giorgio and hidden lagoon islands
- Quiet canal routes off the standard tourist circuit
- Small-group intimacy—no coach parties
- 90 minutes start to finish, same departure and return point
What to expect
You'll board the Patana and settle in as the skipper steers into open water. Drinks arrive immediately—prosecco flows, cold beer sits ready, soft options available if you ask. The boat moves gently past Venice's headline sights: the basilica dome, the Giudecca waterfront, the quiet bulk of San Giorgio across the water. But the real pleasure is the lesser-known channels, where smaller islands and weathered buildings drift by in near silence. At 90 minutes, you're back where you started, pleasantly buzzed and smelling of the lagoon.
