About the experience

Experience the golden magic of Venice from the water during this unforgettable 2-hour sunset cruise. Departing from the quiet Zattere promenade, this short but stunning journey takes you along the city’s most iconic and atmospheric waterways, just as the fading sun begins to paint the skyline in warm, glowing hues. As the light dances on the lagoon, you'll glide past historic islands and elegant facades while the city slows to a romantic hush.

The route winds gently through the wide Giudecca Canal, offering spectacular views of Giudecca Island and the southern edge of the Dorsoduro district. This peaceful stretch of the city comes alive with a quiet kind of beauty in the evening, its domes and bell towers silhouetted against the sky.

Next, we sail toward the Cannaregio district, one of Venice’s most authentic and lesser-known areas, with a rich blend of culture, quiet canals, and a strong local spirit. As we pass along its edges, you'll catch glimpses of daily Venetian life away from the tourist trail.

We then enter the historic heart of Venice’s naval past: the Arsenale, in the Castello district. Once the most powerful shipyard in Europe, it now stands like a sleeping giant—majestic and mysterious, especially in the soft light of dusk.

The journey concludes near the Giardini Biennale and into the St. Mark’s Basin, where you'll enjoy a breathtaking panorama of Venice’s most iconic skyline—domes, towers, and palaces bathed in the golden light of the setting sun.

We had a wonderful time on Daniel and Francesco’s boat. They were super laid back and helpful. Even with giving suggestions on where to visit while in Venice. Highly recommend using them for your boating experience.

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!
