iscovering the Italian waterways

legant and historic, this unique region offers diverse cruising areas; from the famous Lagoon separated by the sea by an offshore bar forming some fabulous beaches and characterized by more than 80 islands to cruise around including Venice of course, to the natural parks of the Sile and the Delta.

You can visit the amazing and monumental Trieste, not far away from the navigable way. Leaving from our new modern base in Precenicco, on the Northern part of the region, or from Porto Levante , South of the Venetian Lagoon, follow all our suggestions for an unforgettable vacation.

Padova and Treviso, two of the most important north east Italian cities are easily reachable; the Brenta Canal will take you between magnificent villas belonging to Italian nobility.

Don’t forget! You are on holidays! The waterways you encounter are easy to navigate. You will find that travelling on water is extremely pleasant!

Turning the prow towards North, the beaches in Veneto and in Friuli offer natural beauty and famous tourist locations , among them Jesolo, Caorle and Grado, known and appreciated throughout Europe.

i tinerary The Litoranea Veneta and the Friuli Venezia Giulia Precenicco, the last new base, gives you the chance to discover the Litoranea Veneta, the ancient navigable way used by Venetians to trade their goods in the inland parts of the North-East. This exclusive itinerary runs through interesting and pleasant old town centres, that hide the history and traditions of the Italian culture, and delightful landscapes that will make you remain amazed. The best Adriatic golden beaches are never far away; around Caorle, Lignano and Grado you’ll certainly find an ideal mooring to reach them. Don’t lose the chance to pass one day in Trieste: the old Maritime Republic is today one of the European cultural capitals and it is only few kilometres away from your itinerary. The old town of Aquileia, which offers very good mooring facilities, is an open sky museum, where ancient Roman ruins are visible. The old restored historical centres look like paintings; spend some time visiting them, discovering the hidden monuments and the bustling little fishing ports or tasting the local delicacies.

Vacation cannot be considered complete, without coupling navigation to the land excursions we propose for you

For you we have studied a selection of itineraries for cycles allowing you to enjoy all the beauty, both natural and architectural that are close to the rivers. Leave the boat securely moored in a safe harbour and jump on land!!! Circular routes of a few kilometre’s duration, ideal for an outing or longer ones lasting a half day are the ideal epitome of navigation. Children can at times follow the boat from land pedalling along the cycle lanes for a few kilometres and then be pulled in again on the boat in a point different from the start. Some of the most important islands in Venice’s lagoon are considered to be real sanctuaries for cyclists. Important museums and monuments await you around the corner, as well as typical small-town markets and local feasts. An opportunity to get into local culture and traditions that cannot be given up.

he table is ready!!! Your vacation cannot be considered complete without having tasted the famous local regional cuisine. Our local food and delicious delicatessen will become a real highlight throughout your holiday. Navigate next to the famous Collio, a production area of high quality and DOC wines in Friuli. Fresh fish from Venice’s lagoon prepared according the most fanciful recipes, the famous red radicchio (rahdeekkeeio) from Treviso, the rice specialties from the Padana Valley; each day a different flavour and the mirror to local culture. But don’t limit yourself to restaurants. There are many small local markets where it’s possible to buy many things at very convenient prices. The well-known fish markets of the Po Delta and in Chioggia are open every morning and you can go and bargain for the purchase of the best fish available, in the small-town markets you will find the best specialties and will discover simple and tasty ways to enjoy them, even without spending much time in cooking them.
