Venice Semi-Private Sunset Boat Tour with Prosecco
Itinerary
Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II
15 min
Meet your guide near the monument on Riva degli Schiavoni, by the S. Zaccaria vaporetto stop, and settle into your premium open-air boat as the semi-private group of up to 8 gathers. Prosecco is poured as the engines start.
90 min
The boat departs into open water, drifting past the Gothic façade of the Doge's Palace and the bell tower above Piazza San Marco before slipping into the narrow canal threading through the Biennale Gardens.
Further along, the Arsenale's fortified walls rise above the shoreline before the boat docks at La Certosa, a quiet island where cicchetti and complimentary Prosecco or Spritz are served dockside.
The boat then accelerates across the open lagoon toward Murano, where evening canals reflect centuries of glassmaking history, before sweeping back along the Giudecca Canal as the baroque domes of Santa Maria della Salute mark the final stretch home.
Riva degli Schiavoni
15 min
The boat returns to the dock at Riva degli Schiavoni, where the evening's circuit comes full circle at the same waterfront where the journey began. From here, the city center, the S. Zaccaria vaporetto stop, and the main neighborhoods of Castello and San Marco are all within easy walking distance.

Terrible Experience nothing like description
This experience was 0/10. Nothing in the description took place & it was not enjoyable at all. The island we stopped at was only for 15 minutes where we were swarmed with mosquitos. The prosecco promised on arrival was not served. They gave us a bottle at the end of the ride where we had to open and serve ourselves. There was no tour or guide associated with this experience. Our driver didn’t say a word to us. We had to ask him how much time we had at the island stop since he didn’t confirm ahead of time. There was also a maximum of 8 people according to the description on the booking and there were 11 people on board. It felt very disorganized. I spoke to others on board and they were also very dissatisfied with their experience. zero stars, do not book this.
Operator response
Hi Brianna, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that your evening on the water fell so far short of your expectations and that you felt disappointed with the overall experience. While our sunset boat ride is designed as a relaxing, scenic cruise with light refreshments rather than a fully guided historical tour, we clearly missed the mark on delivering our usual high standard of service regarding group sizing, prompt Prosecco service, and host communication. We take group limits and guest comfort seriously, so we have raised your notes directly with our Venice Operations Manager to review host protocols and ensure our departure procedures are properly maintained. Please reach out to us at support@thetourguy.com so our team can look into your booking details and work to get this resolved for you. We hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence in us on a future trip.
