About the experience

Leave the beaten path behind and explore the raw, untamed beauty of Venice’s southern lagoon on this evocative 4-hour cruise. Starting from the peaceful Zattere promenade in the Dorsoduro district, we’ll sail away from the city’s bustling heart and into a quieter, wilder world—one shaped by centuries of history, mystery, and nature.

Our journey begins as we glide along the Giudecca Canal, passing historic waterfronts and artisan boatyards. Soon, we reach the wide southern lagoon, where an optional stop invites you to discover San Lazzaro degli Armeni, a serene monastery island filled with rare books, Armenian treasures, and lush gardens. Alternatively, we may sail past Poveglia, the infamous ghost island steeped in legend and wrapped in silence—a favorite among curious travelers seeking Venice’s mysterious side.

Next, we arrive at Malamocco, one of the oldest and most atmospheric villages in the lagoon. With its sleepy canals, stone bridges, and pastel homes, this ancient settlement offers a glimpse into the Venice that existed before the city we know today.

We then cruise along the long barrier island of Pellestrina, where quiet fishing life continues unchanged. Here, time slows down. Colorful houses line the sea wall, fishing nets dry in the breeze, and locals greet you with a nod. You’ll have a chance to step off and soak in this tranquil scene before we gently return to the city.

This tour is a beautiful alternative to Venice’s usual routes, perfect for those craving silence, authenticity, and untold stories.
