How to rent a boat in Venice for a walk along the lagoon?

Renting a boat in Venice (Venezia) for a walk along the lagoon is a great idea for those who want to look at a unique city as a local. Our friend and Maxim, the only Russian-speaking captain in Venice invited us in April to try a new way to study Venice and we were delighted!

Renting a boat with a captain is much more comfortable than public transport, and also cheaper than a traditional water taxi 120 euros / hour. If financial opportunities allow, I strongly recommend.

How much is

The rental price is affected by the number of people and the duration of the walk.

For example, for a company of 3-4 people renting a boat for the whole day will cost 640 euros - you can have time to sail to the islands of Murano and Burano, dine in a traditional restaurant, see unique sights inaccessible to most tourists. A shorter 3-hour walk will cost 270 euros.

All prices are indicated on the nameplate below. When ordering a boat, all readers of our site receive a gift from Maxim - a bottle of prosecco. It is enough to indicate the promotional code in the first message: ITALY FOR ME.

You can find out about free dates and make a reservation by writing to Maxim in the What's app to the number: +39 347 372 37 61. The message format is free, for example: “Hello, Maxim, my name is Arthur. My family and I will be in Venice for 4 full days for 2 full days - August 22 and 23. What are the options for renting a boat with you these days? Promo code: Italy for me. ”

Leaning Tower of Pisa

The most famous attraction in Pisa is its Tower. It is known primarily because it does not stand strictly vertically, but at an angle from the main axis. Indeed, if not for this flaw, it would be unlikely that crowds of tourists would come every year to take a look at this, which has become a world-wide, “falling” attraction.
