About the experience

Escape the crowds and venture into Venice’s wilder, lesser-known southern lagoon on this full-day adventure. This cruise is perfect for those looking to explore beyond the postcard canals and dive into the hidden stories, villages, and nature that shaped the soul of the Serenissima. With optional stops and a chance for a swim, it’s a dynamic journey through Venice’s untamed beauty.

Departing from the Zattere promenade in the Dorsoduro district, we’ll glide past Giudecca Island and head into the wide, open waters of the southern lagoon. Along the way, you may choose to stop at San Lazzaro degli Armeni, an ancient Armenian monastery rich in art and history, or the hauntingly quiet island of Poveglia, steeped in mystery and legend.

We then make our way to Malamocco, a charming and historic village where the Venetian Republic first laid its foundations. Narrow alleys, stone bridges, and timeless silence give you a glimpse of Venice as it once was. Our journey continues to Pellestrina, a peaceful fishing island lined with colorful houses and calm sea views. Here, you’ll enjoy a leisurely lunch and the slow rhythm of lagoon life.

On the return journey, weather permitting, you’ll have the opportunity to take a refreshing dip in the calm southern waters—a perfect way to end your southern escape. This cruise blends history, quiet beauty, and immersive discovery, revealing a side of Venice far removed from the usual tourist trail.

    Our experience with Francesco was truly exceptional. Communication was prompt and clear, and the process was simple. We asked Francesco for a unique tour, a day focused on local food and wine, and he delivered. In fact, our time with Francesco far exceeded expectations, and we are looking forward to booking again. In short, Francesco is a great skipper, but his intimate knowledge of Venice extends far beyond its waterways. Food, wine, culture...Francesco is truly passionate about his city and his enthusiasm elevates an already incredible experience. Grazie mille Francesco!

    WE had an extraordinary trip in the Laguna islands. Francesco a real young and energetic Venetian explained the history and daily life in the islands. He speaks fluently English and French. He took us to a very good and local restaurant for lunch at Torcello. An Excellent trip we never will forget. Unni and Alain
