Discover the most authentic, secret, and fascinating Venice with a sailing tour designed for small groups, maximum 10 participants, ideal for those who want to experience the lagoon in a friendly, relaxed way, away from the most crowded places.
A journey through history, nature, and mystery that reveals a side of Venice that few really know.
The tour kicks off in the morning at the Diporto Velico Veneziano, where the crew will welcome you on board with a short introductory briefing and a personalized welcome kit. You'll gently sail along the calm waters of the lagoon while a Venetian breakfast of espresso coffee and typical pastries is served, accompanied by the guide's story about hidden Venice.
The first stop is Murano, the beating heart of glass art. Here, we'll visit a historic furnace to witness the magic of glassblowing and discover the secrets of the master glassmakers. After the visit, we'll head back to the boat to continue to the Isola della Certosa, a green oasis surrounded by the lagoon's natural beauty. It's the perfect time to relax, take photos, and, if you like, have lunch at a typical island restaurant (lunch not included).
In the early afternoon, we'll head to the Lido di Venezia, the island where the sea and the lagoon meet. We'll dock for a stroll among the elegant Art Nouveau villas and along the famous promenade, until we reach the iconic Palazzo del Cinema, home to the famous International Film Festival. A unique opportunity to discover a different and refined side of the Lido, away from the summer nightlife and rich in cultural history.
Then we'll head back to the lagoon's most mysterious islands: Lazzaretto Vecchio, the Serenissima's ancient quarantine station, and Poveglia, shrouded in legends and charm that make its atmosphere truly unique. These places, hard to reach and steeped in history, tell the story of the quieter, more authentic side of the Venetian lagoon.
On the way back, the sky turns golden and Venice appears in all its beauty. On board, a refined aperitif is served with Venetian cicchetti and prosecco DOC, to be enjoyed in front of St. Mark's while the boat slowly glides towards the starting point.
The tour ends at the Diporto Velico Veneziano, leaving you with the feeling of having experienced a special day, discovering a more authentic, intimate, and surprising Venice.
An experience designed for those who love to share, discover, and be fascinated by the timeless magic of the lagoon.
