Venice : Profile

Location

Of all the Italian cities, this one certainly needs no introduction! There are a large number of berthing options in the Venitian lagoon. The main entrance into the lagoon is at S. Nicolo. The canal here is wide and deep and leads to the heart of the city.

Position 45°25'N, 12°26'E (Porto di Lido) Main entrance to the lagoon.

Clearance

Customs office is at Punta della Salute.

Docking

There several options for berthing in Venice istself and also elsewhere in the lagoon.

Punta della Salute is conveniently in the heart of the city and close to the harbour and customs offices. Moor between the huge mooring posts (NOT to the quay). It is rather uncomfortable due to the constant wash from passing boats. It is operated by Venice Yacht Pier (see below).
