Top Veneto Sailing Tours

Soak up the seductive atmosphere of Venice at dusk on this sunset Jazz cruise. Sail out of San Marco bay while the setting sun illuminates the city, past the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute and down the Canale della Giudecca while sipping a glass of spritz or prosecco and listening to the gentle jazz sounds of a tenor saxophone .

Forget the cheesy singing gondolier experiences and discover another Venice tradition when you join your captain aboard an artisanal wooden boat for a sunset sail. Sip a glass of chilled local prosecco as the sun sinks into the canals and the palaces light up in hues of amber. You and a maximum of seven other guests will see sights including the Doge’s Palace, St. Mark’s Square and Giudecca island.

Visit Torcello, Murano, and Burano—three islands in the Venetian Lagoon—on this tour from Venice by motorboat.
