Venice

The legendary Venice - a source of inspiration for poets, artists, musicians and travelers for nearly a thousand years - is located in the Venetian Lagoon on the northern Adriatic.

Today, more than 20 million tourists visit the city and its lagoon islands each year to marvel at Venice's unique architecture, admire the rich artistic legacy of works by artists such as Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto and Canaletto, and stroll through the 400-year-old city.

Venice is a city with a centuries-old musical tradition established by famous composers such as Monteverdi, Gabrieli and Vivaldi. Venice is a city of festivals and carnivals, the most famous of which are the Venice Carnival, the Venice Film Festival, and the Venice Biennale.

Of all the more than twenty million visitors to Venice, only the few who come here on yachts can experience the feelings that have been experienced by nearly 20 generations of sailors since Marco Polo returned to Venice in 1295 after a 20-year voyage.

Coming to Venice by yacht, one can see much more than the traditional Venice available to the average tourist. On a medium draught yacht you can explore large sections of the lagoon, calling at the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello, or anchoring overnight on the edge of one of the channels. Away from Venice, you can find the perfect world to enjoy the sunset, the sea birds and exchange greetings with the fishermen of the lagoon.
