Venice by boat

Several boat tours in Venice and its lagoon are possible, with different boats, such as traditional Venetian boats (bragozzo and trabaccolo) or tourist boats (covered motorboats that can be used during the cold season or in case of rain).

The itinerary can be tailored according to the client’s requests, whether it is addressed to the most famous islands (such as Murano, Burano, and Torcello) or the least known islands but not less beautiful (such as Mazzorbo, Sant’Erasmo, San Francesco del Deserto, etc.).

Half-day or full-day excursions can be arranged, with the possibility of having lunch in some quaint restaurant on an island in the lagoon.

It is, of course, also possible to organize simple panoramic tours of a couple of hours, maybe with an aperitif on board!

Combine fun, culture, gastronomy, boat, and sun? You can.

Book your private Venice boat tour, with the possibility of music on board, panoramic deck, and aperitif.

We take you to see the lagoon of Venice from every characteristic side:

nature and its islands (both the famous ones and the less known ones); the beach (yes, there are also beaches!) to relax in the sun and/or take a refreshing swim; gastronomy (refreshments and aperitif on board or, optionally, in a panoramic bar on the terrace of a hotel overlooking the rooftops of Venice, or in a luxury bar in a 5-star resort on a private island); the panorama (with views from the San Marco basin); the culture (a walk in St Mark’s Square, or on an island of your choice).

Tourist boats

Tourist boats can accommodate up to 50 people. And they can be 1 or 2 decks. These boats are used throughout the year long. We also have motorboats for small groups of friends or family.

Traditional boats

The traditional boats can accommodate up to 20 people. These boats are used only during the warm season (from April / May until September / October) and only with favorable weather conditions.

These are spartan boats whose comfort level is somewhat limited; in this case, the goal is to experience the thrill of an excursion on a traditional wooden boat.

The sails are only hoisted in the presence of useful wind; otherwise, the boats are moved by the engine.

The Venice boat tours are proposed either “only pilot” or “with a guide on board”.

The tourist boats are equipped with an audio system.

On request, you can have a private DJ on board.

Murano private tour

A visit to a Murano glass factory is certainly a must for any visitor to Venice. Still, there are several ways you can live this experience, as well as different types of glass with varying levels of quality. 

The Murano private tour that we propose is an exclusive experience with the guarantee of a highly reliable selection of glass works, not only for the quality of the glass itself but also, and perhaps above all, for the artistic expression of the objects created. Of course, it is possible to customize the choice of glass factories according to customer demands and interests.

 

The boats

Even the means of transport itself is customizable: the customer can choose between different types of boats, from the simplest to the top of the range, represented by a magnificent vintage speedboat, making the tour a unique experience from the moment of boarding.

 

The guide

Onboard and for the whole time of the visit, the customer will be accompanied by a private guide, experienced and with extensive knowledge of the matter, who will not only tell the story and the unique aspects of the glass works but also, if necessary, advise in the purchase and select the glass factories best suited to the interests of the customer.

 

The glassworks

In any case, the choice will be made within a range of prestigious glass factories, ensuring quality in the glass, in the manufacture, and whose internal staff is competent, helpful, and able to provide accurate explanations.

 

The other islands

We also have the highest availability regarding schedules and duration of the tour, which can be easily stretched with visits to other glass factories or sailing toward other islands. Even in the choice of the islands, we are very flexible and willing to escort the customers to visit famous islands such as Burano and Torcello, or other less known but no less beautiful ones such as San Francesco del Deserto, Sant’Erasmo and more.

A genuinely exclusive way then to live, an experience to remember.

The private boat tour in Murano is for up to 8 people.

Discover the Venice Grand Canal with a Private Speedboat Tour

The Grand Canal, which runs through Venice, was called “the most beautiful street in the world“. A unique “street” made of water, overlooked by magnificent noble palaces, lush gardens, and beautiful churches.

L’altra Venezia is pleased to present an exclusive experience: a private tour of the Grand Canal by speedboat.

Therefore, we propose you to sail this spectacular waterway in a comfortable private speedboat that will allow you to admire (and photograph) calmly, without the crowd that usually invades public transportation, the Grand Canal and some characteristic internal canals.

The magic of this amphibious city, off the beaten track, surrounds you in a fresh embrace, leaving a wonderful memory.

The tour can last one or two hours, and takes place only in the afternoon (as per the disposition of the City of Venice).

We can pick you up wherever you like depending on the available mooring access.

On board, there will also be an expert guide who will provide you with interesting and helpful information about Venice, making the experience even more engaging and instructive.

On request, we can provide refreshments on board. Alternatively, we can take you for an aperitif on an island in the southern lagoon, such as the Skyline Rooftop on the roof of the Hotel Stucky on the Giudecca island, or in one of the JW Marriott bar-lounges on the Isola delle Rose.

The tour is for up to eight people to ensure the best possible quality.
