    A warm welcome from the team on board. Lovely trip and so glad we picked this one. So relaxing on board and able to see Venice from a different perspective

    Thank you Douglas, I'll gladly pass on your comments to the team. I'm happy that you enjoyed the tour with us!

    An Absokute Dream!

    Brent_P, Jul 2026
    The spritz tour was an absolutely amazing experience! After a day of walking the city and fighting the crowds, floating around the lagoon with a drink in my was a beautiful way to see the city in a very comfortable and relaxing way. The staff were attentive and friendly and the catamaran had ample space for everyone to enjoy themselves without feeling cramped. My whole family agreed that it was a very worthwhile experience that we would happily do again!

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Wonderful, I am so happy that you enjoyed the peacefulness of our catamaran. No Stress is the name of our boat and what we stand for. Come back any time, with pleasure!

    Beautiful! Comfy couches and very nice and attentive staff. The bar requires cash. Bathroom was nice and convenient.

    The trip was lovely seeing places we would not of seen . Didn’t appreciate 3 staff members smoking wasn’t a good look. Service wasn’t great never offered anymore drinks

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Dear Customer, thank you for sharing your feedback. I sincerly apologize when the service on board was not up to our usual standard. I will surely bring your message to the crew's attention. I am glad that you enjoyed the cruise otherwise

    Horrible

    Rameshwar_K, Jun 2026
    The actual cruise time is 1 hour 10 minutes. On board toilet is unhygienic. The bar service is poor, no card or bank payment accepted (cash only). Price does not match the service.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Dear Customer, Thank you for your feedback. We are surprised by your comments, as they differ significantly from the experience reported by the vast majority of our guests. Regarding the cruise duration, departures may occasionally be delayed by a few minutes while waiting for late-arriving guests. During this time, guests are already comfortably seated on board, while drinks are being served. We take cleanliness very seriously, and our two onboard facilities are checked and cleaned regularly throughout the day. We are very sorry if the condition of the toilets did not meet your expectations during your visit. As for the bar service, every guest receives a complimentary cocktail or other drink from our large drink menu, already included in the ticket price. Neither card nor cash is required. We appreciate all feedback and will continue working to provide the high-quality experience for which we are known. Best regards, Venezia Catamaran.

    George_R, Jun 2026
    A great deal for the price. The catamaran was nice with plenty of places to sit or stand. It was raining during our booked time and we were the only reservation as a party of three but the staff still took us out on the water. Part of the catamaran was covered and we didn’t mind getting a little wet from the rain. They were very friendly, played fun music, and were accommodating. There are even bathrooms on the boat. Drinks were great!

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you so much for this loveley review, especially appreciated as you were somewhat unfortunate with the weather. But true: Venice is beautiful no matter what the sky looks like. We hope to see you back some day!

    Relax & Enjoy

    Kelly_O, May 2026
    So chilled and an awesome way to see Venice! Recommend as a treat to relax and unwind under the Italian Sun

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Thank you, Kelly! You're absolutely right—there’s no better way to relax and unwind than cruising through the beautiful Venetian Lagoon under the Italian sun. We’re delighted you enjoyed it!

    Do not pass this up!

    Lorraine_S, Oct 2025
    The views of Venice from the boat are wonderful! Plenty of comfortable seating for hanging out and chilling after sightseeing. The staff is super-attentive.

    Cancelled the day of.

    Merideth_B, Sep 2025
    I booked this hours before it was scheduled and then they cancelled it. They refunded me what I paid but $50 of it was Viator rewards. Because it takes several days to process the refund I will not get the rewards back in time to use on vacation and they will expire before my next vacation. I’m sure this is a lovely excursion but having it be cancelled messed up our plans and our money.

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Dear Merideth, We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the cancellation of all tours due to engine damage. All passengers have been informed and full refunds have been initiated. We understand this situation is difficult for everyone involved; it is a challenging time for us as well. We do everything we can to remedy the situation buit the damage itself was out of our control. Thank you for your understanding.

    Excellent tour - highly recommend!

    Jackie_J, Aug 2025
    The crew was nice. The drinks were solid! The views, amazing 🤩 My only complaint was the deck wasn’t available to enjoy which was disappointing. It’s one of the best parts of being on a catamaran for me. I saw a review that mentioned the same thing a few weeks ago and the group responded that it was temporary. I guess it’s still closed.

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    Dear Jackie, thank you for your nice comments. Good news is that after several weeks of struggle with local authorities, our brand new front deck is finally approved and open for customers since yesterday. We are all very happy.

    Great way to see areas surrounding Venice

    Natalie_M, Aug 2025
    Nice crew and loved seeing all the surrounded islands around Venice… covered area was great with all the sun and heat.

    Do it!

    Ryan_S, Aug 2025
    We booked this as a last minute activity and we had a lovely time! This is a very chill ride with music and drinks. They take you along the lagoon to see many spots you otherwise wouldn’t during a short vacation in Venice!

    Highlight of our trip

    Stephanie_B, Jul 2025
    My husband and I were in town for a few days and knew we would have serious jet lag. We booked this the day after we arrived and it was so relaxing. The staff was very attentive. The drinks were great and it was very scenic. If I did not have to leave, I would do it again today. Well worth it!!

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Dear Stephanie, what a lovely and encouraging message, thank you so much! I will gladly pass your compliment to the crew.

    Very relaxing time.

    Amy_H, Jul 2025
    The experience was very relaxing and we met some great people! We also got a new vantage point of Venice.

    Highly recommend

    Renee_K, May 2025
    Was such a great experience. Highly recommend. The crew were so friendly and welcoming, even with the two children they couldn't do enough for us.

    Lovely Views, Smooth Ride, Good Time

    Allison_M, May 2025
    An absolutely lovely and relaxing experience. It was a much smaller group than many of the other boat tours we passed, which was inherently more relaxing. Quite comfortable lounge seating and very kind and attentive staff through the duration of the ride. A unique way to see the city than on-foot with a complimentary alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage to stay refreshed. I would absolutely recommend to every friend of mine traveling to the city.

    Response from Host, May 2025

    Thank you Allison, for this lovely review. Yes indeed, my crew and I try hard to make a difference and it it makes me happy to see that our efforts are appreciated. All the best

    Probably the best thing experience in Venice. Easy to find and very welcoming staff. The boat ride was very relaxing and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

    Response from Host, Aug 2024

    It always gives a boost to read such uplifing comments. THANK YOU!!

    Relaxing fun in the lagune!

    Wilfred_S, Apr 2024
    It was a great expierence, sailing through the lagune of Venice, taking in the sights while drinking cocktails in the sun. Life doesn't get better than this! Our host Andreas made us feel welcome and told us about his life, company and boat. All in all the best way to spend a sunny afternoon in Venice. We woulld recommend it!

    Response from Host, Apr 2024

    Thank you so much Wilfred! You are right, life doesn't get better than this. Carpe diem! Hope to see you back soon!

    Sunset Cruising

    Stephanie_V, Apr 2024
    Andreas was a great host who kept in touch when there was a date change and offered us an upgrade to the sunset cruise. The sunset cruise was amazing, an experience that far exceeded our expectations. Myself, my husband and our son were made to feel very welcome on board and we thoroughly enjoyed 90 minutes cruising around the Venetian islands. Included snacks and drinks were delicious. Definitely one to book!

    Response from Host, Apr 2024

    Thank you Stephan, for this lovely review. "Exceeding expectations", that's exactly what we are tying out best to do. So happy it's working out :-) Come back soon.!

    Great rest from walking,and friendly service

    Thank you for your five stars Colin. It has been a pleasure having you on board!

    Recommend this trip!

    alison_B, Jul 2023
    Excellent trip! Great staff and owner. Fab trip round the lagoon. We booked 2pm however there is a sunset cruise usually booked up. Also though ask for the evening cruise at 10! Recommend. 10 mins from the square.

    Response from Host, Jul 2023

    Thank you Alison, for pointing out our other tours. Yes we do six 90-minutes tours a day and each one is different: Different light, music, atmosphere, catering ... Next time you come to Venice, you can check them all out :-)

    A relaxing ride around the Lagoon

    Heather_S, Jun 2023
    I chose this tour for a relaxing ride and it was exactly that. The crew were friendly and we received two free drinks as part of the tour. There was no guide or commentary, just a ride around the lagoon to see the city from the water.

    Response from Host, Jun 2023

    Dear Heather, thank you for your kind review. A friendly and relaxing tour with a good drink in your hand, that's exactly what we intend to offer.

    Brilliant afternoon

    Maria_W, Apr 2023

    Recommended, great tour, especially recommended for "newbies". 80 euros for 2 people is certainly better spent than a gondola ride for half an hour.
