Why rent a sailboat in Venice?
Venice, the romantic city par excellence, is not only a concentration of artistic and historical treasures, but also the ideal base for sailing in its lagoon and in the Adriatic Sea to discover Croatia. The Serenissima is one of the ancient maritime republics with a long history in navigation and trade, and is a city surrounded by water. What better way to get to know it than through a sailboat charter in Venice?
What is there to visit in Venice and the surrounding area?
If you are coming from the mainland, you will need to reach the "Tronchetto" area to get to the port. Once in the city, you can only travel by vaporettos, gondolas or public water taxis and private boats. It would take more than a week to visit Venice and its labyrinths of alleys and squares that lead to the decks over the canals, but there are places not to be missed. The splendor of this city, which was the center of maritime trade for close to a millennium, is still visible: Piazza San Marco, Palazzo Ducale, the Fenice Theater, the Rialto deck and the noble palaces of the Grand Canal. Rent a sailboat in Venice and discover the lagoon, with its unique environment, and towns such as Murano, famous for its art of glass blowing, and Burano, famous for its fine lace and colorful houses. Sailing towards the northeast, you will find the long beaches of the seaside resorts of Jesolo, Caorle and Grado. If you are a true sailing enthusiast, you can make the crossing and reach Croatia!
Useful advice for traveling in the region
Venice is one of the most popular destinations for foreign tourists who, especially in spring and summer, flock to its narrow streets. However, by renting a sailboat in Venice, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the city and its lagoon at your own pace. The local climate is continental, slightly tempered by the sea, with average humidity. On the Adriatic, the Libeccio is sporadic, while in summer you can take advantage of the sea breezes to sail in the lagoon. It is advisable to always pay attention in summer to the mistral, which can cause violent storms. If you want to enjoy your sailing vacation in complete peace of mind, opt for a sailboat charter in Venice with a skipper and trust in the experience of a professional sailor.
