Description

An exclusive tour aboard an authentic historic bragozzo – an unforgettable hour in the magic of the Venetian lagoon Experience Venice from a unique perspective, off the beaten path and immersed in its most authentic soul. Hop on board a historic motorized bragozzo, a traditional lagoon boat that's been lovingly restored, and once sailed these waters carrying goods and stories. Today, it welcomes you for an amazing journey into the heart of Venice and its southern lagoon. We start from Giudecca or Zattere, places that are already full of charm and history. The tour kicks off along the Giudecca Canal, with the Venetian skyline unfolding before you: domes, bell towers, and facades reflecting on the water. After a few minutes, we'll make our first stop: we'll stop in front of the San Marco basin, the ultimate panoramic spot. Here, you can snap some amazing photos of St. Mark's Square, the Doge's Palace, the Bell Tower, and the Basilica, all standing out elegantly over the sea. It's the perfect time to dive into the city's iconic beauty. Then we head south, leaving the bustling heart behind to enter a quieter lagoon, almost frozen in time. We'll sail around the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, with its impressive church designed by Palladio, and then head to San Clemente, now a fancy island resort, but once a place of hospitality and spirituality. As you sail, the bragozzo glides smoothly over the water, letting you soak in every detail: the lights dancing on the sea's surface, the islands' outlines, and the lagoon's hushed silence. There are no sails, but there's the understated elegance of a boat that still speaks the language of Venetian maritime tradition. The tour keeps going along the south side of Giudecca, the less crowded side, but full of authentic charm: construction sites, hidden gardens, old houses, and glimpses of everyday life in the lagoon. A real, lived-in Venice, far from the hustle and bustle. After about an hour, you'll head back to the starting point, with your heart full of emotions and your eyes still lost between the sky and the water. Book your spot on board now for an exclusive, intimate, and deep experience. Let the lagoon lull you and discover Venice like you've never seen it before: authentic, quiet, and enchanting.
