Info… Ports in the Lagoon of Venice
To go ashore among the calli there are several equipped marinas
Up to the Grand Canal
All accesses to the Lagoon are named ports on the maps, but beyond each access is not a port facility with services, but rather a series of canals leading to different port settlements.
In the Lagoon itself then there are several channels marked by briccole, some of them numbered and illuminated. The outer side of the Lido is a touristically equipped beach, while on the Lagoon side the Rocchetta Canal runs along the tongue of land.
Access to the Lido presents no problems even though the minimum seabed is about 8 meters. Venice can be accessed by coming right from the Lido, or from Malamocco through the Rocchetta canal: in fact, the historic center can be reached by even large pleasure boats.
In the Grand Canal and minor canals, however, there are special rules regulate tourist traffic: traffic is allowed after 12 noon; there is a peremptory speed limit of 8 km/h or 4.3 knots); one-way traffic directions and transit bans must be observed.
Where to moor
Venice St. Helena (45°25’75N – 12°22′ 00E) is one of the main landings and is located on the island of the same name: always busy, out of season it offers temporary moorings to boaters (230 places; maximum length 15 meters; VHF 16).
Venice San Giorgio (45°25’15N – 12°20′ 80E), on the other hand, can be reached from St. Mark’s Canal and is also operated by a private company that offers good mooring facilities in all seasons (70 berths; maximum length 15 meters; VHF 16).
