We were met at our hotel by a wonderful young woman who lead us to the boat. Once at the airport she helped us get our tax refund and brought us to our check in. This was an amazing experience and well worth every penny! Highly recommend for everyone.

What To Expect

Choose from two different options with this one-way private water taxi service from your Venice hotel to Marco Polo Airport. 
• Meet and greet service: A transfer representative will meet you in your hotel lobby if the hotel does not have a private pier. You will then be escorted to a waiting motorboat at the nearest departure point. If your hotel has a private pier, you will hop aboard the motorboat there on your own, and a representative will meet you at Marco Polo Airport and escort you to the departure terminal.
• Full service: A representative will meet you in the lobby of your hotel and accompany you all the way to the airport departure terminal.Motorboats can accommodate up to six people and six pieces of luggage. Transfer service is available 24 hour a day, 7 days a week. Please provide flight and hotel details when making your booking. You’ll receive immediate confirmation and a voucher to present to the transfer representative. Please call the number on your voucher between 24 and 48 hours prior to your departure to confirm your transfer.

Price is per person, based on six adults per motorboat.

Please note: Guests staying at Venice’s Hotel Marriott (Isola delle Rose) will need to pay a surcharge of €20 at the time of service due to the hotel’s more distant location. This transfer service is not available to Mestre hotels.

Seamless, Relaxing Transfer

Dustin_D, Jul 2026
Nicole met us outside our place, friendly and customer service oriented. She connected us with our boat driver who helped us with loading and unloading our luggage. The boat driver provided a smooth, relaxing ride to the airport.

Perfecto!

Christa_C, Jul 2026
Leaving Venice in a water taxi is supremo! The driver was so efficient and made our trip to Marco Polo airport seamless.

Convenient pick up...

Rhonda_P, Jun 2026
Convenient pick up directly in front of hotel. Transport to airport was less than 20 minutes and offers chance to see sights from main canal on the way.

Better than expected!

Julian_B, Jun 2026
Better than expected! Met just outside our apartment and taken to our taxi boat. Guide stayed with us and came in to the airport to ensure we were happy!

We had a very short ride...

Kristy_S, Jun 2026
We had a very short ride to our hotel but it was nice to be met at the train station and not need to try to figure out how to get where we needed to go.

Failed scheduled transportation

linda_b, Jun 2026
The Viator company did not confirm time of departure; they did not pick our group up. We had to scramble to find another company for transportation. They have not refund the amount

Better late than never

Jeffrey_O, Jun 2026
They originally scheduled my transfer for 630 am for an 11 am flight, claiming this was a shared transfer despite me booking a private transfer. Hotel staff called to correct this and confirm a more reasonable time. Despite confirmation, the taxi pilot was 27 minutes late and unapologetic. His vape smoke was blowing on us during the ride. It smelled like vanilla. We did make it to the airport, however you may want to have your hotel arrange your transportation and give yourself a time buffer to ensure you make it in a timely manner. There is a 1 km walk from the boat dock to airport check-in so bring some cash to hire a minivan to drive you if you want to skip the walk and/or save some time.

The actual service was...

Kim_D, May 2026
The actual service was amazing. The only problem was communication. We had trouble communicating with them, and it became very nervous as transportation is hard to come by.

The transfer is not from...

Val_D, May 2026
The transfer is not from the hotel, it is from the water taxi dock. The confirmation that was sent to the hotel the day before our departure indicated that we should meet at the dock but the lady went to the hotel to meet us. She was very pleasant and her colleague travelled with us to the airport and found a porter for us.

It was worth the money...

RoyCharlene_M, May 2026
It was worth the money for me, I use a cane & pull my suitcase, instead of using a regular water taxi then the shuttle bus to the airport. At the airport wharf, they have built a walkway to the terminal instead of having to use a shuttle bus.

Friendly and helpful transfer

Linda_B, May 2026
Excellent! The transfer got me from hotel to airport checking. I really appreciated the help with bags.

Convenient and prompt

Theresa_B, May 2026
Convenient boat pickup location and on time. Also it included pickup at hotel and airport. Very friendly and professional. It was very helpful being in a strange city that we had such experienced guides. This was a good recommendation from our travel agent.

Not a great experience

Tharaka_M, May 2026
I booked the airport departure in the private boat as a surprise for my husband. The company didn’t pick us up at our hotel despite the request to do so. The driver arrived on time to the meeting spot however was slightly rude when he asked my husband not to eat on board (which he immediately stopped and apologised for). The trip is about 30mins so would recommend only booking in the daytime as night time it’s too difficult to enjoy the view due to the low lighting. I would also say given the driver’s abruptness with us it tainted our experience. For a trip costing over £200 one way, it just didn’t feel worth the money which was a shame.

Great service.

Michael_K, Mar 2026
Great service. We were delayed by about an hour due to our traffic and the service was still ready and available. Was extremely polite and professional. Would highly recommend

Prompt and friendly

Frederic_A, Mar 2026
Great experience. I forgot my wedding ring at the hotel, we had to turn around and go back. they charged me 50 euro extra which I thought was fair. Highly recommend the service.

Smooth early morning departure from Venice.

Douglas_P, Feb 2026
We needed a transfer to Marco Polo Airport at 4 AM. The company was actually ahead of time, handled all of the luggage, and got us to the airport via water taxi and land taxi in plenty of time.

Highly recommend

Katie_G, Jan 2026
Wonderful experience, picked us up right at the hotel and was very helpful and kind. Highly recommend this service for a private transfer to the airport

Solo Traveling

Gweneva_S, Nov 2025
As a solo traveler in a country that I’ve never visited before, I needed someone who spoke English to get me to the airport for a 6:00 AM flight from Venice. Viator was recommended and they did not disappoint. They told me what time they would pick me up and they were there minutes earlier. They got me to the airport in record time, entered the airport with me and made sure that I checked in and checked my luggage. I highly recommend them to others that travel solo or with others.

Amazing Service!

Darlene_H, Oct 2025
This was the way to end our trip! The water taxi was 5 minutes early and calmly waited for us to get to the lobby. Kind, friendly and helpful. But the real treat was the service given at the airport. Wecwent with the complete package. The young man walked with us to get our tax refund, manuevrd us through each step and dropped us at at the luggage drop. No stressing about trying to figure out where to go. It was a breeze with fun conversation and no worries. Who knew navigating an unknown airport could be fun!

Don’t bother unless you’re at a hotel

Nicholas_K, Sep 2025
I was staying at an AirBNB and had to catch a ferry because they didn’t send mail to the address nor did they contact me through Viator.

Worth Booking This Transfer!

Angelo_S, Sep 2025
Elena greeted us at our hotel and escorted us to our awaiting water taxi. Everything went very smoothly.

Easy transportation

Michael_P, Sep 2025
Very easy to book and smooth transition pleasant representatives and very helpful would definitely use again

Perfect ending to our Italian vacation

Deidre_B, Aug 2025
Great option for transportation from Venice to airport. The communication the day before pickup with pickup time delivered to the hotel is a very nice personal touch. Seamless transition at the end of a wonderful vacation.

Happy with private water taxi service

Fred_R, Jul 2025
Viator personnel met us at the airport and took us to the water taxi and then when we returned to the airport they met us at the boat and took us to our airline check in. Made it easy and less anxiety for us. Taxi operators were very nice and helpful

Great smooth experience!...

Monica_S, Jul 2025
Great smooth experience! Loved the meet and greet upon arriving at the airport via water taxi. They walked us right up to the airline counter and made sure everything went smoothly for us.

Private wooden boat transfer

Jason_S, Jul 2025
We reserved a private water taxi ride from our hotel directly to the airport. They provided a notice to the hotel that was dropped off in our room the day before with all the meeting time information. They were on time, it was a wooden taxi like we requested and it was a smooth ride to the airport. Having the meet and greet at the airport was a big help to take us directly to the gate with no confusion. Taking the boat all the way directly to the airport was well worth it and a cool experience. It was a quick 30 min ride. We heard that the car traffic from Piazza Roma station was taking an hour to go 15 mins. Would reserve them again and no problems!

Overpriced and under performed

Eve_T, Jun 2025
There were supposed to be a water taxi and a ground taxi but the ground taxi didn’t show so we needed to walk the 20 minutes to the airport from the pier with all our luggage

Aide was early and...

Janet_S, Jun 2025
Aide was early and assisted us with luggage. Very kind and helpful - we would use again when in Venice
