About this activity

What sets this service apart is the fact that Venice is unlike any other city in the world. There are no cars in the historic center, no direct road transfers, and reaching Santa Lucia Train Station is often much more complicated than travelers expect. This private water taxi service is designed specifically to make departure from Venice smooth, stress-free, and easy to understand. When your hotel has direct water access, pickup takes place right from the hotel dock. When it does not, the service is carefully coordinated from the closest possible and safest accessible dock. Travelers enjoy a private boat reserved only for their party, a scenic ride through Venice’s canals, one large suitcase per person included, and drop-off at the closest possible access point to Venice Santa Lucia Train Station. All taxes, fees, and gratuities are included, making this a seamless and reliable transfer for Frecciarossa, Italo, and regional train travelers.
