Ferry Tickets to Venice

Thomas_K, Jul 2026

The booking went flawlessly. Everything was as expected. Also the price was acceptable. Great day all around

Venice

Frank_J, Sep 2025

We were later than booked due to circumstances, no problem, left half an hour later. The guy at the desk spoke perfect Dutch, by the way

Very unfriendly and stressed personal at the pier.

Frank_S, Sep 2024

When we came on Sept. 10 to the boat for returning from Venice a very unpolite and stressed man at the pier told us to switch the boat from pier 5 to 4. Therefore only 3 stars. Another thing not unde ryour control was also that my purse (wallet) was stolen on the way from Piazza San Marco to the boat. We went to the police and they told us that this happend very frequently. I do not understand why nobody will stop those thieves. This will be teh reason not to come to venice any more. Greeetings Frank Severin

Good trip

Rastislav_M, Jun 2024

It was all good. Boat went on time, straight to Venice, no problem. We recommend it, definitely. Will go again.

Very smoothly!

Cornelis_V, Aug 2023

Everything went smoothly. Clear information at the desk and the boat was clean and ok. A lot of people want to leave Venice at 15.30 and they arranged a second boat.

Best way to travel to Venezia!

Sebastian_S, Jul 2023

Best way to travel right into the old town centre of Venice, will do a that every time again! You land just a few hundred metres away from San Marco, perfect!

Very bad signing of where...

Martin_E, Jul 2022

Very bad signing of where to get tickets and the same in Venice. No sign or information of where the boat departures from.

Once to Venice and back....

Peter_O, Jul 2026

Booking simple and fast. On-site service super friendly. Everything worked out....will definitely book again.

First, getting on the boat - then it was great

Ellen_S, Jul 2026

We were recommended an advance online ticket, as this allows you to board without long waiting. On-site, it looked quite different. Chaos, because no one knew where to go. After waiting in line, when it was our turn, we were told that we had to first exchange the online ticket at the booth and then go to another dock. So, wait in line at the booth again and then go to the other line. Thanks to the round-trip ticket, we thought it would be easier later. Not at all, an insane crowd and pushing, no one knows where to go (not even us).. Somehow it worked out after a long wait.. But now to the nice part: Once on board - on both ways - there was space, a beautiful ride, and a great view. For €15 round-trip from Punta Sabbione to Venice, absolutely recommended!

Venice trip

Julia_P, Jun 2026

Very poor description; the hotel was not findable, the pier number was not visible, and at several counters, we had to ask which boat would pick us up.

Auto-translated

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Dear Julia_P, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the confusion, but we would like to note that all information regarding the meeting point, pier, and boat company is clearly stated on your booking voucher. Please know that we are always available to assist you. Best regards, The Venetoinside Team

Took the boat, two...

JeanLuc_L, Jun 2026

Took the boat, two days in a row to visit Venice - Simplicity - Timeliness - Friendly staff.

Everything is great

Christa_S, Jun 2026

The booking was easy and quick, the parking lot in front was huge, so there was enough space, and the trips back and forth were excellent. There was also a bit of swinging involved, which was very nice.

Auto-translated

Good arrival location in Venice, with two toddlers in their strollers, little consideration is given.

Kusay_A, Jun 2026

At the ferry entrance, groups are prioritized, and one has to wait with the children until the last moment to board, where there are hardly any seats left. Not recommended for families. Not recommended for families.

Auto-translated

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Dear Kusay_A, Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry, as our standard policy is always to give priority boarding to families with young children. It is clear that this was not properly managed during your trip, and we sincerely apologize. We are addressing this with our pier staff to ensure our family-first guidelines are strictly followed in the future.

Boat trip to Venice

Ronny_S, Jun 2026

The outbound trip was great, quite efficient, but the return trip was a bit chaotic in the handling before departure.

Auto-translated

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Hi Ronny_S, Thanks for sharing your feedback! We're glad the journey there was smooth, but sorry to hear the return organization felt a bit chaotic. We’ll definitely work with our team on the ground to improve this. We hope to welcome you on board again soon for a perfect experience from start to finish! Best regards, The Venetoinside Team

Stay in Venice

Robin_B, May 2026

It is best not to go on the weekend, as it is already quite crowded during the week. Otherwise, everything went smoothly with the crossing and also on-site.

Ferry crossings to Venice

Gabriele_D, May 2026

Everything went smoothly on the outbound ferry trip to Venice, and we had a lovely stay in beautiful sunshine. On the return trip, we unfortunately had to wait a full 60 minutes, as groups were allowed on the ferry first. We did not find that very nice, as there were still seats available.

Purpose served

Reiner_H, Sep 2025

Timely arrival ensures good places, sometimes places were scarce. From noon Venice will be packed.

Auto-translated

Overcrowded and overbooked

Stefanie_W, Sep 2025

The ship was totally overcrowded, although you booked on time, you didn't get on the ship anymore. Another ship was then fetched 15 minutes later. But then there were the next guests who had booked the regular ship half an hour later. Crowds of people at the branch

Boat transfer from Jesolo to Venice and back

Saskia_W, Sep 2025

Super transfer, very close parking,... Super transfer from Jesolo to Venice, and of course back p.P. 15€ ! Unbeatable! Should have experienced. From Jesolo you drive to the boat dock about 40 min / 25 km away. After Venice there are 3 possible journey times and back, really great and flexible. Very happy to come back.

Auto-translated

Everything great

Nadine_C, Sep 2025

Everything worked out fine. For the parking machine you need 7€ change or can pay by card. The ship is simple and serves its purpose

The departure was...

Elena_D, Sep 2025

The departure was on time, staff is correct, friendly. The return journey was the same. Lots of people were picked up from the island

Would book again.

Matthias_K, Aug 2025

Would book again. Parking spaces available and not far from the pier. No problems on the descent. On time. Ships were ok. Unfortunately, the ship had no toilet for the return trip. On the way back it was a bit difficult to find the pier. But we were able to question each other well. Then we were surprised by a huge snake and had considered that we could no longer get a seat. Was completely unfounded, however, as 3 ships arrived. Any time again. Very stress-free.

Auto-translated

Very good organization 😀

Thomas_S, Aug 2025

+ On time, and all promises kept. Our expectations were met. - On the way back we had a smaller boat, from which the view was not very good.

Auto-translated

Not a nice experience

Julia_J, Aug 2025

Make sure you get on the II Doge ship, the other one is very poor. We were disappointed that we were no longer allowed to board the ship on the return trip as it was too crowded. You had to wait with small children in very hot temperatures for the next ship. The organization has been chaotic.

Fine boat trip to Venice

Merel_K, Aug 2025

Great organization for the boat trip to Venice. You need to know where to go. At the restaurant at pier 5, there you have to exchange your e-ticket for other tickets and wait in line for the boat. I read this information in other reviews. If you don't know this, it's a bit of a search I can imagine. Everything went fine with us. The boat back was full but we were allowed to take another boat and it left fifteen minutes later. Totally fine!

Auto-translated

Fine!

Els_R, Aug 2025

Easy to book online. Next to the pier is a stand where you can exchange your eticket for a paper ticket. Parking fine arranged.

Venice

Manuela_F, Aug 2025

Round trip to Venice, worked great. The boat was convenient for about 40 minutes drive. The armchairs on the return journey took some getting used to, but since only about 8 people drove, it was possible.
