Venice was born as a harbour, and she has always been a harbour.  Venice, the Venetians and boats cannot be separated.

Water is omnipresent in Venice, which offers infinite possibilities to photograph gondolas, vaporettos, working boats, super yachts and even cruise ships up close.

Several of our guides are passionate about traditional Venetian boats. They’ll be happy to teach you the difference between a s-ciopon, a sanpierota and buranello, besides how to photograph they at their best.
