The enchanting city of Venice and its surrounding islands are yours to discover and enjoy from the superb vantage position of your own sundeck. For both its breathtaking views and the fantastic cruising experience it offers, it's not easy to see why the Venetian Lagoon is one of our most popular cruising destinations.

NEW FOR 2011: You can now explore the northern Venetian lagoon towards Trieste and discover the real Italy from our new base at Precenicco. With chic seaside resorts and sandy beaches, beautiful fishing harbours, excellent restaurants, friendly Osteria (café-bars) and beautiful un-crowded waterways and seaside canals, we’re sure this will be a hit with anyone who is looking for something different in 2011.

Further south, the protected nature reserves of the Po Delta and the nearby colourful fishing villages will delight the nature lovers and bird-watchers among you. Nearby sandy beaches make for a perfect combination of sightseeing and relaxing as you choose to explore the vast expanse of the Venetian lagoon.

Because the waterways of the Venetian Lagoon get very busy, we recommend that only those with some previous boating experience consider Venice as a destination.  Cruising in Venice can get very busy and there are always difficulties in finding somewhere to moor – especially as marinas can cost in excess of €100/night.

We are delighted to announce that for 2011 exclusive private moorings will be available for all Le Boat customers cruising in the Venetian Lagoon. A compulsory £70/€80/week or £45/€50/short break supplement will be charged to all customers cruising to/from Porto Levante and Casale.

In the Northern Lagoon (towards Precenicco/Trieste) there is wider availability of public moorings and marinas for overnight stays, so no mooring supplement is payable for customers cruising between Casale and Precenicco.
