Itinerary
The 90 minute panoramic cruise takes you from the San Marco bay past the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute down the Canale della Giudecca along Fondamenta Zattere and Dorsaduro. At the level of the Hilton Stucky we shall turn back along the Giudecca shore, pass San Giorgio Maggiore before taking a turn towards Lido di Venezia. Having explored one of the less well known sections of Lido we shall finally return to our starting point via Sant'Elena and the Giardini della Biennale. All this with the magic colours of a Venetian sunset, a glass of spritz or prosecco in your hand, and to the gentle jazz music of a tenor saxophone…

Wonderful from Start to finish!!!
Very nice trip. Would have been nice if we had started at 7:30 PM instead of 8:00 PM. In general, highly recommended!
What an amazing night being on the water watching the sunset. Atmosphere was amazing, crew wonderful, music perfect, views unbelievable, highly recommend, best night yet in Italy.
I chose the 8pm sunset cruise to surprise my partner. The catermarang is huge with plenty of room. The owner hoste greeted us warmly and directed us to our front row seats.(all seats are great on board) we are then offered our free drink as we pull away from tge wharf as the sun is going down, we are serenaded by a very talented Saxophone musician who played to both the boat and to indervidule couples ,it was a truly memorable experience. The snack food was beautifully presented and delicious. We are from NZ and do a lot of boating where we come from and we're delighted with this experience. Warmest regards Vince and Tanja
The best time for the boat trip and enjoying city view. Enough space on board. Staff is very friendly and caring. The first free drink is included. Come in advance to get the best seats on board. The interesting story about Arsenale by the boat owner as a bonus!
Dear Grigory, thank you very much for your kind words. I am particularly glad that you enjoyed my "bonus". I cannot be on board every evening, but when I am, I'll keep it up :-)
There needs to be a minimum age for this experience. Having the hyperactive children of irresponsible parents running round in circles screaming and shouting while their parents got drunk ruined the experience. Those kids couid have finished up in the water because no one was watching them. The sax player played for around 20 minutes or so. Mostly we were listening to '80s hits. Not the jazz experience that you'd hope for with a sax player. The only positives were the amazing view of the sunset and a friendly captain. A really good idea but, please, tell parents to keep little children at home.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I was personally on board during this cruise and do not recognize the situation as described. We respectfully disagree with the characterization that parents were "getting drunk" or that children were left unattended. Such statements do not reflect what took place on board that evening. Our Sunset Jazz Cruise is indeed primarily intended for couples and is only rarely booked by families. However, we believe children are an important and enriching part of life, and our younger guests are always warmly welcome aboard Venezia Catamaran. Regarding the music, our Sunset Jazz Cruise features live saxophone performances interwoven with carefully selected background music. It is not intended to be a continuous live concert throughout the entire cruise, and this is clearly reflected in the description of the experience. We are pleased that you enjoyed the spectacular sunset and appreciated the friendliness of our staff. We remain committed to providing an enjoyable experience for couples, friends, families, and guests of all ages.
Nice trip There was no guide on board, we expected more live performance
Grazie per la Sua recensione e per aver scelto Venezia Catamaran. Ci fa piacere che abbia trovato la gita piacevole. Ci dispiace però che alcuni aspetti non abbiano soddisfatto le Sue aspettative. I nostri tour non prevedono una guida turistica a bordo, ma un rilassante giro panoramico della laguna accompagnato da drink e musica dal vivo. Un caro saluto
This was awesome. What a great relaxing way to end the day and see the sunset over the lagoon. The jazz musician was extremely talented!
Dear Ron, thank you for your lovely words, highly appreciated! Come back soon
Even though I am Venetian it was a fantastic experience, seeing the most beautiful areas of Venice on a catamaran with jazz music in the background was very exciting
Cara Elisa, Grazie di cuore per la Sua splendida recensione! 😊 Ricevere un commento così positivo da una Veneziana è per noi un complimento davvero speciale. Sapere che anche chi conosce Venezia da sempre ha trovato emozionante riscoprirne le meraviglie dal nostro catamarano, accompagnato dalla musica jazz, è la conferma più bella del nostro lavoro. Speriamo di avere presto il piacere di accoglierLa nuovamente a bordo!
We enjoyed the sunset sail. It was beautiful to sail through the lagoon at sunset. The drinks were very tasty. I had the Lemon Gin & Tonic. The appetizers were tasty. 1 drink per person and appetizers are included. The music was pleasant and set the mood. The crew was very friendly. It was a very smooth and relaxing cruise with beautiful scenery.
Dear Suzanne, NO STRESS is the name of our boat and our mission. I am very happy that you had a smooth and relaxing cruise. Mission accomplished :-)
