It’s a fully personalized journey through local flavors, hidden culinary traditions, and true Venetian hospitality. All experienced from the comfort of a private boat.

This unique experience takes you off the beaten track to discover small taverns, historic wine bars, and local producers. You might stop for cicchetti and a glass of prosecco, enjoy fresh seafood with native white wines, or sample regional cheeses, seasonal delicacies and homemade jams from the lagoon’s islands.

What sets this tour apart? It’s tailor-made. There’s no fixed route or schedule. Every detail — from the route to the food pairings — is shaped around your preferences, the time of day, and even the season. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast, a foodie, or a curious traveler, this tour adapts to you.

You won’t find this experience in mass-market packages. It’s built by people who live Venice, know its rhythms, and love to share its lesser-known stories. And by booking directly, you also benefit from the best price, as you’re dealing directly with the team — no agencies, no middlemen.

To deepen your connection with the city, you can also combine this experience with the Islands Discovery tour or the Riding the Lagoon adventure.

If you’re dreaming of discovering Venice beyond its famous landmarks, a private island tour in Venice is the perfect way to explore the lagoon at your own pace.
With the Islands Discovery – Islands and Lagoon tour by Venice Tour By Boat, you can experience the most authentic side of the city, far from the usual crowds and clichés.

This is not a pre-packaged excursion. It’s a private boat tour designed for small groups who want to see the real lagoon — from iconic places like Murano and Burano to hidden corners that only locals know.

You can start with Murano, home of the legendary glassmakers, where you’ll discover centuries-old techniques still in use today. Then move on to Burano, with its vivid facades and traditional lace artisans, and maybe include a peaceful stop in Torcello, a quiet island filled with history and nature. Want something even more unusual? The tour can include lesser-known islands like Sant’Erasmo or uninhabited islets where time seems to stand still.

The best part? It’s completely customizable. You choose where to stop, how long to stay, whether to enjoy lunch in a local tavern or take your time strolling, relaxing, or taking photos.
And since you’re booking directly with Venice Tour By Boat, you’ll benefit from the best price and a direct line of communication with your guide and skipper — no agencies involved.

You can also combine this experience with the Flavors of Venice food tour or relax along the sandbanks with the Water and Sand itinerary.

Book your Private Island Tour in Venice today and explore the lagoon like a local.

While tourists often flock to nearby Burano, the neighboring island of Mazzorbo remains a quiet gem, filled with green spaces, vineyards, and a true sense of local life.
If you’re looking to explore the less-traveled corners of the lagoon, the best way to do it is to visit Mazzorbo by boat, as part of the Islands Discovery tour by Venice Tour By Boat.

Mazzorbo is connected to Burano by a simple wooden footbridge, but it feels like another world. Here, silence reigns, and nature takes center stage. The island is known for its vineyards, especially the rare Dorona grape, a variety once lost and now lovingly revived in one of Venice’s few remaining lagoon vineyards.

Wandering through the vines, visiting the small Church of Santa Caterina, or enjoying a slow lunch in a local agriturismo gives you a new perspective on Venice — one rooted in land, tradition, and simplicity.

With a private boat tour, you can arrive comfortably and take your time exploring. Whether you want to combine Mazzorbo with stops at Burano, Murano, or Sant’Erasmo, the itinerary is completely customizable to suit your pace and preferences.

By booking directly with Venice Tour By Boat, you get the best price, direct contact with your skipper, and a personal approach that avoids agencies and rigid programs. You decide how long to stay, what to visit, and how to enjoy this peaceful corner of the lagoon.

Want to discover a different side of Venice? Visit Mazzorbo by boat and enjoy nature, history, and quiet charm.

If you’re looking to go beyond the usual tourist experiences and truly connect with the Venetian Lagoon, the Riding the Lagoon tour by Venice Tour By Boat is exactly what you need.
This is not a rigid itinerary with scheduled stops — it’s a custom boat tour through the Venice lagoon, designed around your interests, mood, and rhythm.

Imagine hopping on a traditional wooden boat with no fixed plan, just the desire to explore. The skipper, who knows every corner of the lagoon, will help guide the experience: maybe towards quiet canals and uninhabited islets, a scenic sunset point, or a hidden jetty where you can enjoy a glass of prosecco.
You can stop wherever you like, walk on forgotten islands, swim in the open lagoon (weather permitting), or simply cruise and let Venice unfold before you in its most natural form.

This tour is perfect for travelers who have already seen the classic Venice and now want something more local, free and authentic. Whether it’s a romantic outing, a moment of escape with friends, or a slow solo discovery, Riding the Lagoon adapts to you.

You can even combine it with other Venice Tour By Boat experiences, like the Flavors of Venice food and wine tour or the Islands Discovery, for a day full of freedom and beauty.

Want to experience Venice without a script? Ride the Lagoon and let the city surprise you — quietly, slowly, beautifully.

Most travelers see Venice from its canals or famous islands. But there’s another side to the city — a wild, quiet, and breathtaking world made of water and earth: the sandbanks of the Venetian Lagoon.
With the Secret Sandbanks Tour by Venice Tour By Boat, you’ll explore this fragile and hidden ecosystem aboard a private boat, away from the crowds and noise.

The sandbanks (or barene, in Italian) are small strips of land that emerge with the tides and disappear when the water rises. These ever-changing formations are home to birds, native plants, and a natural harmony that feels untouched by time.

This Venice lagoon sandbanks tour is ideal for small groups, couples, photographers, nature lovers, or anyone seeking a deeper connection with the territory. Your itinerary is fully customized: you can explore the sandbanks at sunrise or sunset, stop for a picnic or aperitivo on the water, or just sail slowly between channels and islands with no particular destination.

Along the way, your skipper — a true local — will share stories and insights about the lagoon’s ecosystem, history, and daily life. The tour is not just a ride: it’s a journey into the silence, light, and rhythms of the lagoon.

You can also combine this experience with other Venice Tour By Boat adventures, like Riding the Lagoon or Islands Discovery, for a full day off the beaten path.

Want to experience Venice differently? Sail through the Secret Sandbanks and see the lagoon like never before.

Your graduation is a major milestone, and it deserves to be celebrated in style. What better way than with a graduation boat party in Venice? Venice Tour By Boat offers a unique and fully customized experience for you and your closest friends — on the water, surrounded by the magic of the lagoon.

Imagine cruising through the reflections of the city, raising a toast under a glowing sunset or dancing beneath the stars. Your private boat comes with music, drinks, decorations, and the option to add catering or even a professional photographer to capture every moment.

There’s no rigid schedule: you decide when and where to sail. Whether you want to anchor in a peaceful spot or glide through the city’s most scenic areas, your skipper will create the perfect route. Start your party near St. Mark’s for a postcard backdrop or drift near the Secret Sandbanks for something more off the radar.

This graduation boat party in Venice is 100% private — no strangers on board, no interruptions. Just your crew, your vibe, and Venice as your stage.

You can even pair the event with one of our other exclusive experiences, such as the Food & Wine Tour or Bachelor Party for an unforgettable celebration.

Celebrate the end of your studies in the most memorable way possible. Book your graduation boat party with Venice Tour By Boat and make your success shine on the water.

The magic begins with a simple excuse: a relaxed boat ride, a scenic tour, a sunset aperitivo. But once onboard, the real surprise begins: balloons, music, friends waiting in hiding, a toast with the lagoon in the background — all arranged down to the last detail.

You’ll have a fully private boat, so every element can be personalized: from decorations to playlist, from drinks to the route. Want to stop at a peaceful spot for a quiet celebration? Or cruise along Venice’s skyline while partying with your group? Everything is possible.

The team at Venice Tour By Boat will help you plan the logistics, timing, and even the emotional “reveal” moment. You can also combine the boat party with one of our themed experiences — like the Flavors of Venice Food & Wine Tour or a fun Treasure Hunt on the Lagoon — to add an extra layer of excitement.

Located between Venice and the Lido, Poveglia has a complex and shadowy past. Over the centuries it has served as a military stronghold, a plague quarantine station, a psychiatric hospital, and finally, a place left to silence. It’s now abandoned, overgrown, and steeped in stories — some real, others imagined — that have earned it a reputation as the most haunted island in Italy.

While visitors aren’t allowed to walk its grounds, you can get up close by boat, circle the island, and hear its chilling history from knowledgeable local guides. The crumbling buildings, the solitary bell tower, and the eerie atmosphere make this a uniquely memorable adventure for those curious about the darker side of Venice.

Want to go deeper? Combine your visit to Poveglia with a trip to the Secret Sandbanks or add it to a Lagoon Discovery Tour for a complete look at Venice beyond the postcards.

If you’re fascinated by abandoned places, dark history, and local legends, Poveglia is a must. Book your ghost island tour and see a side of Venice few ever get to experience.

Unlike traditional tours, this experience is all about intimacy and spontaneity. You’ll board a private or semi-private boat and explore hidden corners of the lagoon, guided not just by a local expert, but by someone who shares stories from the heart — stories of life in Venice, its traditions, its moods, and its people.

What makes this authentic boat experience special are the encounters themselves: a smile from a fisherman as he sails by, a shared toast at sunset, an unexpected detour into a quiet canal. These are not scripted moments, but real ones — the kind you remember long after the trip ends.

The tour adapts to your preferences and to the mood of the day. Whether you’re in the company of friends, a partner, or even traveling solo, it becomes a unique chapter in your personal travel story.

You can also enrich the experience by combining it with the Flavors of Venice Food & Wine Tour for a sensory journey, or follow it with a slow exploration of the Islands of the Lagoon.

If you’re looking for something truly heartfelt and personal, book the “Pleasant Encounters” tour and experience Venice not as a tourist, but as a welcomed guest.

Once home to Carthusian monks, the island now serves as a public green park and quiet harbor for nature lovers, sailors, and curious travelers. It is a place where silence is part of the landscape, where time seems to slow down, and where encounters with locals, stories, and nature feel effortless and true.

During the Pleasant Encounters tour, the Island of Certosa becomes more than a destination — it becomes a stage for connection. You may sip a glass of wine, chat with a local sailor, or simply enjoy the view of the water brushing the dock, guided by someone who truly knows and loves the lagoon.

This stop can also be the beginning of a longer adventure. Combine your visit with a trip to the Secret Sandbanks, or explore nearby islands like Sant’Erasmo for a full immersion into Venice’s most genuine environments.

If you’re looking to escape the ordinary and feel the true rhythm of the lagoon, book the Pleasant Encounters tour and let the Island of Certosa welcome you into a world of quiet beauty and authentic experience.

On December 31st, Venice is alive with lights, music, and celebration. But while most people gather in packed piazzas, you can sail into the new year aboard a private boat, enjoying a relaxed and luxurious evening with your loved ones. Whether you’re a couple, a small group of friends, or a family, this exclusive boat tour offers you a front-row seat to Venice’s iconic fireworks, all from the gentle sway of the water.

The experience is entirely customizable: you can bring your own drinks, plan a romantic dinner on board, or request a stop on Certosa Island for a peaceful toast under the stars. With soft music in the background and a local skipper guiding you through the night, you’ll be able to enjoy the city in a way few others ever do.

For those who enjoy private parties, this is also a wonderful alternative to a classic boat party — more refined, more personal, and far more memorable.

Don’t settle for a crowded celebration. Book your New Year’s Eve boat tour and start your year with an experience that combines elegance, tranquility, and the timeless beauty of Venice by night.

Start with outfits: this is not just any boat ride — it’s a photo-worthy moment in one of the world’s most iconic cities. Choose coordinated light dresses or chic summer outfits. Don’t forget a veil or sash for the bride, and perhaps matching accessories for the whole group to set the party mood.

Next, footwear: while heels may look elegant, the safest and most practical choice is flat, comfortable shoes with non-slip soles. You’ll be moving on and off the boat, so make comfort a priority.

Since you’ll be outdoors, bring sunglasses and sunscreen. The Venetian lagoon reflects light beautifully, but it can also be intense — especially around midday. A small hand fan or a hat can also come in handy during summer months.

Consider packing a swimsuit and towel. Depending on the route and time of year, there may be an option to stop for a refreshing swim. It’s best to check with the Venice Tour By Boat team in advance.

You might also want to bring extra drinks or snacks. While prosecco is included in the experience, you can personalize the party with your own cocktails or treats — just coordinate it ahead of time.

To complete the atmosphere, prepare a playlist to stream via Bluetooth on board. Add decorations like balloons or photo props, and don’t forget your phone (and power bank) to capture every moment.
