Since we had been to Venice before, we just wanted to enjoy our day, the sun, and the water. So, it was great to hop on a comfortable boat with a flexible captain and have a great afternoon slowly driving around the Venice area outer islands. We did not have lunch on the boat, but we did have some drinks and a wonderful snack. After a swim and a trip walk around Burano, we got to enjoy the rest of the ride back to our starting point. It was just what we asked for.
We did not have lunch, so I cannot comment. We had been to Venice before, so we specifically asked to mostly cruise the islands and stop at Burano to walk around. Ernesto was very flexible and worked around our wishes. We mostly wanted to be away from crowds and enjoy the sun and water. So, we had a slow cruise around the small islands , we enjoyed a couple drinks, we enjoyed the sun and a quick swim. For us, it was perfect.
