Experience the Northern Lagoon of Venice, with your expert tour guide.
You will be able to enjoy a cruise through the Northern Lagoon aboard the oldest working boat in Venice, Lady Betty. Lady Betty is originally used as an Admiral’s launch, this ship was built in England in 1894 under the reign of Queen Victoria and has become the oldest floating ship in Venice. Before moving to Venice in 2019, the majestic former steamboat was completely restored by Dennett Boat Builders on the Thames and converted to hybrid propulsion. This enables you to enjoy the silence of electric propulsion without losing the capability and secureness of a new Perkins Diesel engine as a backup and allowing more power where ever needed.

"The Rudy" was a 50 yr old classic boat and Pierangelo was our driver. My bro in law and I each own a boat. The driving skills by this young man are at a level we have never seen. Excellent. Pierangelo is extremely knowledgeable and friendly and took us to parts of the lagoon we might not have found on our own. Highly recommend.

Thank you very much for the excellent trip to Poveglia and the southern lagoon. We learned a lot about venitian history. Venice is much more than San Marco and Palazzo duccale, Venice is history throughout the lagoon. We really hope to come back soon and make another intersting trip on boat with you. Thanks to Giovanni, our guide; see you soon.

One of the best boat experiences I’ve had. We came in without a reservation, hoping they still had a boat left for the day. JP immediately got us ready to get into the boat so that we wouldn’t waste time. The boat has a nostalgic feeling and takes you back to a Venice that doesn’t exist anymore. I felt like Thomas Mann and Ernest Hemingway, driving the boat through the lagoon of Venice and ending the day at Harry’s bar. Those days are gone but this boat still remains. Oh, and thanks for the bottle JP.
