Boat ride to Pellestrina

Pleasant boat ride with Damiano. Sailed out from Chioggia through the lagoon to see Pellestrina from the water, and then back, and learned a bit about local history.

An excellent travel experience in Chioggia.

Our tour with Damiano was excellent. He was very friendly and extremely professional. He had lots of interesting information and stories to tell us, historically as well as current. Always fascinating to spend time with someone who has a huge amount of local knowledge. That’s why we travel, to learn and this was a great experience. Geraldine & Larry

Fun Lagoon boat tour

We had a fun afternoon tour of the fishing community and city canals in a lagoon boat. Operator was very knowledgable of fishing industry and area. As we ended up with a private tour we opted to stay in and around the city.

Curious and colorful Pellestrina

After the fantastic excursion to Chiggia with Damiano we chose him again for the excursion to Pellestrina. Damiano is very prepared for the visit and has an engaging sympathy. Starting from Chioggia, crossing the mussel farms we arrived at the curious and colorful Pellestrina. Really top experience! Thank you Damiano for making our boat trips unforgettable.

Trip to Chioggia and Pellestrina

You know, the Venetian lagoon is fascinating, but beyond Venice, there is more. Accompanied by Damiano as a real local, it was nice to dive between Chioggia and Pellestrina, discovering hidden canals and corners that only by boat you can see. E.. Inevitable sunset in the lagoon! Experience to be redone absolutely!

We were very satisfied!!

We have seen and sailed in beautiful places where you get only thanks to the boat! Pellestrina seen from the water is gorgeous and thanks to Damiano's typical boat we saw it in a small group. Recommended
