Why choosing a water taxi in Venice?
Venice is a city built on water, and the means of transport used here are also closely linked to water: you can choose either a water taxi or a vaporetto (the equivalent of a crowded city bus).

The simpler and faster of the two to get around Venice is a water taxi: a private solution that spares you queues and inconveniences and makes it easier to travel with large suitcases straight to your chosen destination.

Why choose Motoscafivenezia.it?
The Consorzio Moscafi Venezia offers customers over 100 water taxis (24 hours a day, every day). Our water taxis can carry up to 10 people and 12 suitcases and take you to your destination in a very short time. They comply with the ECC public transport standards and they are all regularly checked.

In addition, if you purchase a return ticket (to or from Marco Polo Airport) with a single transaction, you will save 10%!

How can I purchase a ticket on your website?
Purchasing your ticket for transfer with our water taxis is quick, easy and safe. All it takes to complete your purchase is four simple steps:
- choose your point of departure
- choose your destination
- find out the price (which may vary according to the number of passengers and suitcases)
- purchase the ticket

Once your purchase is complete, you will receive a voucher to print off and hand to the taxi driver on the day of the transfer.

What should I do if I do not receive the voucher ?
At the end of the purchase procedure, you will find your printable voucher and, at the same time, you will receive an e-mail with a link to the voucher (make sure you keep the e-mail in case you need to print it again).
If you do not find your voucher or do not receive the e-mail, you can call our switchboard, 24 hours a day: tel +39 041 5222303

How many persons can travel simultaneously on a water taxi?
The maximum capacity of our water taxis is 10 people. For parties of over 10, further motorboats must be booked.
The price remains unchanged for up to 5 occupants; from 6 upwards, a € 10.00 surcharge is applied per person.

How many suitcases can be carried on a water taxi?
It is possible to carry up to 12 suitcases. The price remains unchanged for up to 5 suitcases; from 6 upwards, a € 5.00 € surcharge is applied per suitcase.

Can the water taxis reach any hotel in Venice or Lido?
No, there are some limitations due to the presence of rii (small canals) and canals too narrow for the taxi to get through. The service does not directly reach the private dock of these hotels in Venice: Duodo, Splendid, Cavalletto, Saturnia, Bonvecchiati and Bonvecchiati Palace. However, it will stop at close as possible (5 minutes' walk from the stop).

Is there a night surcharge?
Yes, for transfers at night (from 10.00 pm to 7.00 am) a € 10.00 surcharge will be applied.

Can I choose the route?
Our water taxis always take the shortest route to your destination; however, it is also possible to extend the route in order to pass by the most fascinating waterway in the world - the Grand Canal - so as to admire Rialto Bridge, the Academy Galleries, the Church della Salute and the Peggy Guggenheim Museum.
