About the experience

Step into the poetic beauty of Venice’s northern lagoon on a journey that blends art, color, and history in just a few unforgettable hours. This half-day cruise departs from Zattere, the tranquil promenade of the Dorsoduro district, and whisks you away from the bustle of central Venice toward islands steeped in tradition and charm. With fewer crowds and a slower rhythm, this tour offers a refreshing glimpse of authentic lagoon life.

As we sail past Giudecca and into the open waters, your first stop is Murano, the legendary glassmaking island. Here, you'll witness the centuries-old craft of glassblowing, passed down through generations of master artisans. You'll have time to admire their work, visit a furnace, and explore the quaint alleys lined with boutiques and studios.

Next, we glide toward the colorful island of Burano, a visual delight with its rainbow-painted homes reflected in peaceful canals. Known for its lace-making tradition and warm village spirit, Burano invites you to wander, take photos, and soak in its joyful atmosphere.

We’ll cruise past Mazzorbo, a quiet farming island connected to Burano by a wooden footbridge, before circling through the scenic northern stretches of the lagoon. On the return journey, you’ll enjoy beautiful views of the lagoon’s ever-changing light and skyline, including a final glide toward Venice with the domes of San Marco rising in the distance.

This tour is perfect for those with limited time who still want to experience the lagoon’s cultural soul. It’s scenic, peaceful, and deeply Venetian.

    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
