We have teamed up in 2010 with a Sports Association which promotes the love of sailing and the sea, combining sport with fun and a respect for nature and all which is beautiful. Affiliated with the international association Assonautica.

Location: Venice

What: Since 2005 the Association has taken onboard anyone with a desire to try a new sport, from the expert sailor who just wants to see and enter Venice through its front door, the sea. Together we have organised tours of the Venetian lagoon allowing clients the discovery of a hidden world, Venice and its secret corners, small islands and enchanting views. At the same time, these trips allow you to learn Venice’s anecdotes, traditions and the origins of its maritime past. The excursions are looked after by expert and qualified guides, with professional sailing and safety equipment and this is followed up with a certificate of participation which you can take home and treasure forever.

Have you Ever Sailed? This is the right thing for those amongst you who just want to have fun and who have never sailed before. You can choose from a 1-day cruise or longer, like a weekend on the yacht with the captain and an experienced crew. If you love water, enjoy an adventure and are fit then this is for you.

Try it and You will love it… You will learn a new sport and sailing techniques and rules on how to become a sea captain; If you love the sea, this is the best way to live it; An original idea for an unusual and unforgettable present; Why not organise a memorable event such as a party, a unique event like a wedding on a boat, a reunion or a Venetian dinner……

How Many people minimum: The minimum for one day routes is two people, for all the others routes the minimum is three persons. The maximum is six guests (in the same boat), or eleven guests (in two different sailing boats).

Recommendations: This is great for honeymooners and what a honeymoon this would be; Special events; Private parties; Those of you interested in something different; A group event or even an incentive trip.
