Daytrip to Venice by catamaran from Piran

During the sailing to Venice, our experienced guides will give you an insight into the history of the beautiful city, the development and collapse of the Serenissima Republic and explain the course of the program that awaits us upon arrival. After we enter the Venetian lagoon, you will be able to see a completely different world than we are used to. Canals replace roads and streets, vessels replace cars, trucks, buses and all other road transport vehicles. Every building plays an important role in the mosaic of this rich city. After a 1-hour sail through the lagoon, you will berth at the port of San Basilio, scheduled around 11:00. After disembarkation and clearing passport control, you are welcomed to follow the guides to to the heart of the city.

Before arriving at San Basilio Port, guides will offer you the option (for a small supplement) to take a boat transfer and sail comfortably to the city center. Should you not decide for this option, you will be escorted from the harbour to St. Mark’s Square walking with one of the guides. (about 40 minutes walk). If you do choose to embark on the boat transfer to St. Mark’s square, the sailing will include a guided tour of the journey: you will see the house of Elton John, an orphanage called “the Children’s prision”, the church “Il Redentore”, the Danieli Hotel (in which the second episode of the James Bond films – From Russia with Love) and finally the magnificent entrance to the Canale Grande.

After arriving to the square, the guides will walk you around the square and you will see the main highlights.
