Full description

Marco Polo Airport sits on the edge of the lagoon, and a water taxi is the most scenic way to reach the city. From the airport’s water dock, a short walk from arrivals, you board a motorboat that crosses the lagoon and enters Venice by canal.

We arrange the transfer in advance so you know where to go and what to expect. Depending on the option you choose, the transfer runs as a shared service to a central stop or as a private boat towards your hotel, where the canals allow.
