About this tour
Cruise the Venetian Lagoon aboard Sweet Molly, a 1938 Swedish motorboat handcrafted from Honduras mahogany. This seven-hour private charter lets you dictate the itinerary—hit Murano's glassworks and Burano's candy-coloured houses, or seek out quieter corners most visitors miss. You'll navigate shallow waterways and open lagoon in a vessel with genuine pedigree, sipping prosecco as the light shifts across the water.
Highlights
- 1938 mahogany motorboat with documented Swedish craftsmanship

What to expect
You'll board a beautiful wooden motorboat and spend seven hours at sea. The captain responds to your wishes—want to linger in Murano watching artisans at work, or skip it entirely for quieter lagoon villages? You'll see how the light plays differently over shallow shallows and open water. Bring a light layer; even summer mornings on the water cool quickly. The boat moves steadily but isn't thrilling—it's about stillness and scenery rather than speed.
Good to know
Boarding requires moderate agility and reasonable fitness. Not suitable for those with heart conditions. Infants must sit with an adult. A guide isn't included, so research your chosen stops beforehand. Lunch isn't provided—pack food or time stops near restaurants.
