Shared Water Taxi Transfers Venice Marco Polo Airport

This shared water taxi service connects Venice Marco Polo Airport directly with central Venice hotels and landmarks via the city's iconic waterways. Skip the crowded public transport and expensive private transfers. You'll glide through Venice's canals while taking in classic views of palazzos and bridges along the Grand Canal.

The service operates to key locations including Rialto, San Marco, Sant'Angelo, and other central piers. Hotels along the Grand Canal get direct drop-off at their entrance, while those in inner canals use convenient meeting points within walking distance of your accommodation.
