Itinerary
The 90 minute panoramic cruise takes you from the bay of San Marco 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 at the beginning of the night, with the magic colours of a Venetian post-sunset, a glass of spritz or prosecco in your hand, and to the gentle jazz music of a tenor saxophone…

It was a very relaxing trip. Staff was excellent live music with a saxophone Venice is beautiful at night
If you’re looking for a unique way to experience Venice at night, this is it. We booked the 10:00 PM Venice by Night Catamaran Cruise, and it turned out to be one of the most magical evenings of our trip. Seeing Venice illuminated from the water with a warm summer breeze was unforgettable. The DJ played a fantastic mix of music throughout the cruise, and the live saxophone performance added an extra layer of atmosphere that made the whole experience feel special. While we expected the late sailing to be a bit more of a party, it was actually much more relaxed than we anticipated. The boat wasn’t overly crowded, which created a surprisingly romantic vibe instead. I’m sure the experience changes based on size of the group. We enjoyed cocktails, danced barefoot, and simply soaked in the incredible views of Venice at night. I would definitely book this experience again.
It was an incredibly beautiful evening indeed. The vibes obviously largely depend on our guests but Venice by Night is always stunningly beautiful. I am glad that we managed to make the whole experience feel special. Come back any time!
The best cruise and extra drink on the house!
Best Cruise sounds wonderful, that's what we aim for. Thank you Ottavia
This was a beautiful way to see Venice at night. I was expecting it to be a little more upbeat and fun but it was more relaxing in nature. Besides our family, there was only a large group on the boat that was from a local employer. The Captain and crew knew them as they were repeat customers and they received a lot of attention, including music tailored to them. You receive one complimentary drink and there was ability to purchase others but no one really offered them. We noticed the large group brought their own alcohol and that would have been nice to know due to limited offerings at the bar. Overall it was a nice night.
Dear Melissa, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. The group you mentioned were not repeat customers but the employees of our local supermarket, which has been our main supplier for many years. It was the first time I had invited them on board as a small gesture of appreciation for five years of excellent service. I am truly sorry if it seemed that they received more attention than other guests on that particular evening. However, I do remember speaking with you and your lovely family, just as I did with all of our guests on board that night. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of Venice by night under the stars, and I sincerely hope that the rest of your holiday in Italy was just as memorable. Kind regards,
Very beautiful romantic catamaran boat ride. Yes! The saxophonist actually is on the boat playing great suitable tunes accompanied by wonderful drinks!!!! My wife and I Loved This Experience!!!! A True Once In A Lifetime Experience!!!
Dear Lewis, thank you so much for your wonderful review. Highly appreciated!

Dear Sabrina, THANK YOU!! It was a pleasure to have you on board, come back soon!
Excellent time. High recommend !
Thank you so much! See you again soon.
Enjoyed seeing Venice lit up at night. Good music and an easy-going crew. Great way to spend an evening in Venice.
Thank you for your lovely review. Venice is especially magical after dark, which is why we've recently introduced our Venice by Night Cruise. We're delighted you enjoyed the music, atmosphere, and our easy-going crew. We hope to see you on board again soon.
This was fantastic! Live saxophone playing alongside music, scenic views, you get one free drink and the rest are reasonably priced. They pause the boat for scenic photos along the way, boat owner was on the ride, great guy. Highly recommend doing this, worth every penny!!!
A great way to unwind and cap the night off in Venice. The catamaran staff were also very helpful in helping us secure a water taxi since the cruise ended at almost midnight and transpo to our hotel was no longer available.
