The experience was magical! We totally enjoyed it and thought that it was worth the money spent. I will add that if you have a tendency to get motion sickness you might want to take something prior.

Awesome experience all around. Great communication, friendly staff, good music and fantastic views of the Venice sunset. We would definitely do this again and highly recommend for other visitors. Also, the restaurant that was our meeting place (La Nuovo Perla) was amazing. We went into the meal not expecting much and were blown away.
Jody_N, Aug 2025
The experience was excellent. Not too crowded, service was great and music was excellent would definitely recommend
MaryAnn_H, Aug 2025
Just a very average tour. Wouldn’t take again, especially for the cost.
The jazz musician only played about 20 minutes and then they had loud music. Not relaxing.
Also the captain of the boat smoked continuously which then made the boat smell like smoke.
The two ladies that worked on the boat were very pleasant
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Dear Mary Ann,
NO STRESS is the name of our boat and in fact we especially aim to provide a relaxed cruise. I am very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy our tour as much as you should have.
It was a lovely evening with a gorgeous sunset and great atmosphere, so when customers started dancing we did not want to stop them. The musician's contractual playing time is 45 minutes (50% of the tour) and we make sure that he does not play less.
I am happy that you appreciated our lovely bar ladies. They really are adorable.

We were really looking forward to this Sunset Jazz Cruise however, we were disappointed to say the least! First of all, I ordered Prosecco which I have had many times before so I know what it tastes like. For whatever reason, this drink tasted very salty. Not sure what all that was about so I asked them for a totally different drink and that too tasted salty. It was so awful I could not drink it! The saxophone player was ok but he just played a few times during the cruise and it was along with a music track. You really couldn't hear his sax over the track. Also, he kept to himself and had no real involvement with the crowd. Everyone stayed seated and looked very bored. Well that is except the two ladies next to us who seemed to be having their own private little photo / video shoot. They were super annoying as they took pictures and videos literally the whole trip and even had no concept that their hair kept flying into my husbands head and face. We thought this was going to be a fun way to see Venice at sunset. We were wrong! We could not wait to get off and were very sorry we did this. Along with the awful experience, it was sort of expense so that made it even worse. Would not recommend it.

Loved this cruise! Everything was just perfect - comfortable, not crowded, relaxing vibe with chill music… good drinks and light food. Combined with a beautiful Venetian sunset made this the perfect way to end the day’
Kathy_K, Jul 2025
This cruise was fantastic! The staff was so fun! They came around and talked with everyone. The jazz player was amazing as well. Great night on the water, stretched out and enjoying the beautiful views of Venice!
kraackers, Jul 2025
We very much enjoyed the sunset cruise. It was a great way to end the day. We got to see many sites from the water, and it was much cooler than it had been all day.
Frank_M, Jun 2025

Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you Frank, I really appreciate your lovely comment and will pass on the compliment to the crew. Come back soon!
Deborah_G, Jun 2025
This was a great sunset cruise! The staff was very attentive and nice, drinks were good, music was great! We were in the main channels and it was all smooth sailing. What a fun and relaxing evening and although we had a lot of cloud cover, we did get a quick peak of the sunset. Staff brought out blankets for everyone, and although the sax player only played for a short time, he was really good, and the music they played after he was done was perfect. A wonderful night for all of us and I highly recommend this cruise!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Dear Debora, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a comprehensive report. Loved it! Grazie mille!
ArunKumar_K, May 2025
Watching the sunset from the waters of Venice on a cruise was truly an unforgettable experience. It's an absolute must-do for anyone visiting Venice, offering a unique perspective and a romantic ambiance that you'll cherish long after you've left.
Carol_M, May 2025
Must do when in Venice! Vessel is large and stable. Crew friendly Mixed music of live sax and relaxing smooth recorded music. We had aperol and cicchetti was adequate and tasty! Cruising slowly past many Venice sights the vessel manuevered so as to take photos easily. Overall a highlight of our trip to Venice, it is an serene relxing experience and unforgetable!

We enjoyed our Sunset Jazz Cruise despite some adverse weather conditions. It was cool and raining lightly, and with all the clouds there wasn't much of a sunset. But that's out of everyone's control. The staff on the boat was very attentive, serving our drinks and giving everyone blankets. The jazz is pretty simple, a saxophonist playing over tracks of mostly American jazz standards. So nothing fancy, but a good way to see Venice lit up in the early evening, which is beautiful.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you William, for your lovely review. We hope to see you back with better weather in 2025. In the meantime, have a wonderful start into the New Year 2025! Tanti Auguri!

This was me of my favorite experiences while in Venice . The music was amazing and the catamaran yatch was impeccable!
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thank you so much! Our season closed on 31 october and it is wonderful to still receive such lovely messages. I hope to see you back next year, the 2025 season starts on April 1.
Daniel_T, Oct 2024
Aperitivo was an awesome host! Can't beat having drinks on the water during the sunset, listening to a gentleman playing the Sax! Thanks again!
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Dear Daniel, thank you so much! It was a pleasure having you on board and I hope we'll see you again next season.
Katherine_F, Oct 2024
Cool boat, good food and drink and excellent views. They even gave us blankets to help against the wind! Only downside was the music - it was about 50/50 jazz player vs. radio music being played through a speaker. Would’ve loved jazz the whole time instead of some Justin Bieber thrown in
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Dear Katherine, thank you for the compliments to the boat and the crew. As for the music, the agreement with the musician is indeed 50/50 live vs recorded but it should be jazz, bossa and swing only, definitely no J. Bieber. I will have a serious word with him.
Rebecca_E, Oct 2024
Wonderful experience - the ciccheti was delicious, the jazz player was extremely talented and we were provided with blankets if cold.
It started a little later than the advertised time but considering the above, I would still give it 5 stars.
Susan_P, Oct 2024
Great cruise. The organisers wanted us all to have a great time. The sunset was lovely. Would do this cruise again.
Joe_D, Oct 2024
We were lucky to have great weather! The ambiance with the music, the congeniality of the entire crew and the captain’s ability to position the catamaran provided a perfect vantage point and photo-taking opportunities. Such a great night for me and my wife!
Stacy_S, Sep 2024
Crew was so welcoming and helpful and the boat is very spacious as stated. The music was perfect to enjoy the amazing views as we sailed around the lagoon. It was a memorable trip!
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thank you Stacy, it was a great pleasure to have you on board! And we were so lucky with the amazing sunset :-)
