2.Lagoon Catamaran Cruise with Music and Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 419 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $47Best value

Spend 90 minutes on a spacious catamaran, sailing from San Marco and the Giudecca Canal across the lagoon toward Lido, then back past Sant’Elena and the Biennale gardens. One drink is included, with bar service, comfortable seating, music and toilets on board. It’s a scenic break from Venice’s crowded lanes, not a guided history tour.
