Overview

Take a pass on the crowded Venice tourist boats and gondolas, and opt for a day-long private cruise aboard a stylish motorboat instead. With the navigation left to your very own skipper, your time on board is to relax with family and friends and admire the palazzi-lined canals around the city. The route passes through the historic heart of Venice and into the northern lagoon where you’ll visit Murano, Burano, Torcello and Mazzorbo.

See artisan glassmaking traditions in action on Murano
Enjoy free time for lunch on the island of Torcello
Learn about Mazzorbo’s vineyards and sample wine (extra)
Relax aboard a well-equipped boat with a restroom

A Very Memorable Day

Andrew_M, May 2024

I booked the Riva Aquariva "Dea" as a surprise for my wife. I knew she'd be ready for time away from crowds by our 3rd day in Venice. Luca and Il Capitano had Dea tied up a short distance from our flat. The vessel instantly commands attention and looked gorgeous berthed in the canal. Glamour aside, a private boat affords access to parts of the lagoon seldom seen by tourists. Luca organised a behind the scenes glass blowing (and bellinis) tour in Murano and an outstanding lunch at a famed restaurant in Burano. You can do some of these things with other tour guides, they just won't be as good. Luca provided historical context to the journey which was fascinating. Doing business with Luca and his team is about access. He booked us for a private tour with Paola for Doge's Palace and San Marco. She was outstanding. We had a travel plan mix-up on our last day and Luca produced a very nice car and driver to whisk us off to Trieste. You'll travel in style and with confidence when you choose ShoMe Venice Tours and their competent team. When is the next time you'll visit? Maximize the experience by surrounding yourself with good people.
