Venice can be almost completely circumnavigate. It is possible to sail Canale della Giudecca,  Bacino di San Marco. For your safety and for the respect of our unique but fragile city, you are not permitted to enter into the Canale Grande or the narrower canals inside the city. As far as the mooring facilities in Venice are concerned, Rendez-vous Fantasia disposes of two mooring places, reserved and free for its clients, in Vignole and Burano. Other mooring facilities in Venice are the two Marinas of S. Elena and of S. Giorgio (on payement).

EQUIPMENT
Our boats are fully equipped. You will find crockery, cutlery, the mooring lines, boathooks, security equipment, blankets and pillows.

MECHANICAL ASSISTANCE
For all damages and problems you can not resolve by yourselves, you can call us. We will give you instructions or intervene as soon as possible.

INSURANCE
The insurance coverage is total and includes: damage to the boats and to the equipment, the civil responsibility towards third party and transported people, medical transport in case of accident or illness, return of the boat. The policy does not cover the loss or damage of the hirer’s personal belongings. In case of damage the deposit or the franchise will be kept to cover the damage.
It is possible to ask and pay at the embarkation for additional insurance to cover the amount of the deposit.

RESTAURANTS
Discovering restaurants and “osterie” where you can taste the typical meals of this area (generally excellent fish) will be one of the pleasures of your cruise.
