Le Boat Destinations – ITALY

The waters of Veneto, Italy, are like two different sisters. Venice bustles with glitz and the action doesn’t stop. But there’s a quieter sister waiting to welcome you on river cruises in Italy, and she’s just as beautiful. Laid-back isles and seaside canals provide a tranquil setting for some quiet times. Rivers thread inland to intriguing cities and towns, following ancient routes once frequented by Casanova and Lord Byron, for you to explore at your own pace.

Boating in Venice is great for lovers of history, golf, swimming and gastronomy.

LOCKS:

All the lift bridges and locks on the Venetian Lagoon and the surrounding waterways are automatic. You will find wooden posts (briccole) marking the channels for cruising.

Opening hours: Automatic opening on demand, Public holidays: Locks are open all the time (inc. Bank Holidays). Brenta river locks closed on Mondays.

MOORINGS:

When you’re near Venice, you can only moor in designated public mooring places. Space is quite limited, especially in the busy summer season. Take a water taxi (vaporetto) to your tourist destination in the Venetian Lagoon instead of hassling over a place to park the boat. When travelling from Casale, exclusive private moorings are available for Le Boat customers at 80 euros per week or 50 euros for a short-break supplement. In the Friuli region from our base in Precenicco, you’ll find a wider selection of moorings.
