Venice is much more than historical monuments and incredible views. It is above all an island surrounded by water connected to the sea. Venice rests on a delicate, fragile and quite often a romantic lagoon. Therefore, the real unique experience lies in navigating on the water, exploring its aquatic flora and fauna by driving independently, or diving into the background of a sunset after a day of outdoor fun. One of the joys of Venice is being able to take in the amazing landscape from the comfort of a luxury boat while enjoying a lovely glass of wine. Guests have the possibility to also include swimming stops, wine tasting on vineyards at either the island of Sant’Erasmo or Mazzorbo or enjoy a gourmet food tour on board while a chef cooks for you delicious local dishes.
