Sail Venice: Exploring the City of Canals

Renting a sailboat in Venice is the most environmentally friendly option, and Venice needs it!

In Venice, there's a traditional sailboat called "Vela al terzo."

It's a sailboat with triangular sails (called "lateen" sails). They are much more maneuverable and suitable for flat-bottomed hulls (just like those needed for navigating the lagoon!).

You'll also find many more classic sailboats.

We offer to organize a private sailing excursion for you to fully experience the Venetian lagoon! Take a moment to relax and enjoy the exceptional panorama!

The package is ideal for small groups! With a maximum of 12 people on board, 3 options are available:

  • Full day (8 hours)
  • Aperitif (2 hours)
  • Dinner (3 hours)
