Best sights and things to do in Venice during a Venice yacht charter

Venice in Italy is one of the most romantic cities in the world with its historic canals, exquisite art, and buildings, and you won’t get to witness all that this city has to offer better than on a luxury yacht charter. Sleep at the famous Punta della Salute and live in Venice.

Board and stroll with the girl on the cobbled streets, ride a gondola through old waterways, see the great works of art at a Venice museum, indulge in fine Italian food, and have a coffee in Venice’s St Mark’s Square. After a day filled with sightseeing, return to your cruising yacht and be intimate and exclusive in it.

If it’s not Venice that you are going to fall in love with, then it’s the floating city: from the moment your superyacht rumbles down the glistening Grand Canal, full of vaporettos and gondolas.

Venice’s architecture is awe-inspiring. Highlights are St Mark’s Basilica, Doge’s Palace, Ca d’Oro, Rialto Bridge, and Santa Maria della Salute. It has to be Venice’s most well-known landmark, a Byzantine church with gold mosaics and sculptures in the square St Mark’s. Take a private, self-guided tour of the basilica, and after that stop by one of the various trendy cafés surrounding St Mark’s Square for a drink and some people watching. There’s Caffe Florian, Italy’s first coffee shop, established in 1720.
