The galleon The boat arose out of Andrea Longo’s passion for his home Venice and it’s sea, the lagoon.

According to the paintings of the 18th century a real Venetian galleon was built. However this galleon does not transport any spices, fabric or sailors coming from the colonies but offers one of the most exciting trips through the silent lagoon of Venice.

This ship which is driven by two 450 hp motors and can reach speeds up to 15 knots an hour, was planed in every single detail. A modern safety system and equipment like speakers, umbrellas a well equipped bar and a ballroom guarantee a successful event!

The galleon offers different possibilities to entertain the guest and two landings to get on board (Treporti or Venice).

The guests enjoy a trip to the most famous islands of the lagoon like Marano, Burano and Trcello, or those which aren’t famous yet but still are amazingly beautiful like the islands Sant’ Erasmo, San Francesco del Deserto, San Servolo and San Lazzaro degli Armeni.
