Venice
The enchanting “Floating City” of Venice has long been favoured by charterers around the world for many good reasons. The capital of northern Italy’s Veneto region, the city is built on over 100 small islands in a lagoon and is best known for its lack of roads. Offering an intricate maze of canals and bridges, many are lined with historic Renaissance, Gothic, and Byzantine buildings. A Venice yacht charter lets you experience this timelessly romantic city like no other, providing direct access to iconic landmarks such as St. Mark’s Square, the Doge’s Palace, and the Grand Canal. Beyond the main island, the Venetian Lagoon reveals other beautiful destinations, like the islands of Murano, famed for its glass-blowing artistry, and Burano, known for its vibrant houses and lace-making traditions. In addition, thanks to the city’s strategic position at the northern tip of the Adriatic Sea, Venice serves as an ideal starting point for extended yacht charters to the Croatian coast, Greek islands, or along Italy’s eastern coastline.
The best time to charter a yacht to Venice is from April to October, with peak season in July and August. Booking at least six months in advance ensures the best selection. Shoulder months like May and September offer fewer crowds and better rates. Consider Venice’s festivals when planning, as they affect availability.
