From the guide

Every evening our luxury catamaran turns into a jazz boat. Enjoy the most magical sunset with a live saxophonist and a true Venetian Aperitivo. Pure magic!!

- Relaxed 90 minutes tour of the lagoon at sunset
- Comfortable lounge seats and ample space for walking around
- live saxophone playing bossanova and jazz standards
- Large bar offering of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks
- Complimentary glass of wine or cocktail included
- Two toilets on board (Dyson)
Note: if this cruise should be booked out, go for our Venice by Night Cruise. It is just as magical, if not more..

Itinerary

Venice Stop 1
The 90 minute panoramic cruise takes you from the San Marco bay past the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute down the Canale della Giudecca along Fondamenta Zattere and Dorsaduro. At the level of the Hilton Stucky we shall turn back along the Giudecca shore, pass San Giorgio Maggiore before taking a turn towards Lido di Venezia. Having explored one of the less well known sections of Lido we shall finally return to our starting point via Sant'Elena and the Giardini della Biennale. All this with the magic colours of a Venetian sunset, a glass of spritz or prosecco in your hand, and to the gentle jazz music of a tenor saxophone…
