It is the perfect way to see a little of the city while enjoying good food and soaking up the romantic atmosphere, all at the same time.

The boats are in the style of the typical traditional Venetian galleon that was used during the time of the Venice Republic, between 1600 and 1800, and they go out on cruises along the canals and around the islands of the lagoon.
Trips see the boats pass by Le Vignole, Sant’Erasmo, San Francesco of the Desert, Burano, Torcello, Mazzorbo and Murano.
This gives passengers a chance to watch and photograph the unique and beautiful scenery of Venice as they move out of the city and into the wider area, all while enjoying delicious meals prepared on board by their own chefs.

Beginning in front of the Naval Museum, guests board the boat, are seated at a candlelit table by the discreet professional staff and are welcomed with an aperitif to warm up the palate. The boats then begin their journeys, heading towards the north of the lagoon and the courses start to be served, all the while being complemented by soft background music.
The atmosphere is refined and intimate and sets the perfect mood for discovering the serious charms that Venice has to offer. Once the boat has made its tour of the islands on the lagoon, it returns back towards Venice, past the Arsenal and the small island of Santa Maria delle Grazie and San Giorgio, and heads towards the Canal della Giudecca, before concluding with a spectacular view of St Mark’s basin and its prestigious and historic palaces. If you are visiting Venice with a loved one, this tour is a must.
