Yacht Club Venice, excellence and luxury in Venice

In the heart of the wonderful and superb city of Venice that the whole world envies and where the people have an almost symbiotic relationship with the sea that surrounds it, is located the Yacht Club Venezia , a name known to sportspeople and sailing enthusiasts all over the world .

Located in the historic building where once the “ Gallette ” was produced for the fleet of the Serenissima. Inside the Marina Sant’Elena, the only marina located in the historic centre of Venice , the Yacht Club Venezia was born from an idea of Mirko Sguario , who aims to bring the excellence of sailing and its significant following in the heart of the Serenissima. 

Sguario soon becomes an i mportant reference point in the organization of major events . His first event in 1993, the regatta for couples “HIM and HER”, proved to be a real triumph. It aimed to involve as many people of all ages, sailors or not, attracting both newcomers and owners, who used to use the boat only for pleasure, to the race circuit. “HIM and HER” became a success destined to grow and break every record , year after year until reaching the record number of 136 boats in the 2000 edition. 

His skills, knowledge and quality as an excellent organizer led him over the years to collect one success after another as for example the Cooking Cup . The Cup was born from an innovative concept that combined the race with the preparation of a dish in the galley onboard. And more as the Aquileone Race , the Sci-Vela , another premiere in the Veneto region that was expanded with the speciality of golf.

This is how “ Golf Vela Sciando ” was born, another success with hundreds of participants of all ages and with famous champions such as Bruno Alberti and Cristian Ghedina, who participated in the 2009 edition , also as testimonials of a humanitarian project.

Subsequently with the X-Yacht Adriatic Cup, Sguario brings t he most technological and performing boats to Venice . Experience and expertise led him to become a leading light in the racing world, so much so that in 2006 he was called to the direction of the International Boat Show in Venice to take care of the sports events.

Among the new challenges, Sguario wanted to bring vintage sails back to Venice, finding a great ally in the Consulate of the Principality of Monaco in Venice : this is how the Monaco Trophy was born, in its seventh edition in 2019 .

When Stefano Costantini inaugurated the Marina Sant’Elena in 2014, Mirko Sguario sensed the possibility of organizing a great regatta like never before seen in Venice. The Venice Hospitality Challenge was born, a race by invitation only for Maxi yachts, each one combined with a 5-star luxury Venetian hotel .

The Venice Hospitality Challenge is the only regatta in the world that takes place in an urban itinerary such as the F1 Grand Prix of Montecarlo. Every year, the Venice Hospitality Challenge sees internationally renowned boats and skippers battle to win the coveted Doge’s hat, specially made by historic Murano glassworks. 

Spectacularity is always in the first place: the race course takes place in front of “Piazza San Marco” and when the fleet arrives in “Canale della Giudecca” , which is less than 250 metres wide at its narrowest point, the public is always in suspense. Last year’s 6th edition of the Venice Hospitality Challenge saw no less than fourteen Maxi Yachts lined up on the starting line and victory went to Way of Life – The Gritti Palace , helmed by Slovenian skipper Gaspar Vincec . 

With events like this, Venice confirms itself as an extraordinary city , a world reference point that pushes to more and more complex challenges but that in the end, rewards with unforgettable emotions.

Venice Marinas

By Chris Boyle

Venice is an increasingly popular yachting destination, however space is at a premium, so we advise that you reserve berthing facilities for your superyacht well in advance.

The best way to enter the Venice lagoon is through the Porto di Lido breakwaters, which is the busiest and largest entrance. There are berthing locations for superyachts throughout the lagoon, the most exclusive of which are the Salute Mooring posts just opposite Saint Mark’s Square.

There are no large marinas in the center of Venice, so berths are therefore distributed between several different zones. Venice aims to be the superyacht hub for the eastern Mediterranean and the Venice International Boat Show is a prestigious annual event in April.

MARINA DI LIO GRANDO

The marina is located right inside the lagoon and offers berthing to yachts up to 60 meters in length and seven meters wide.

There is easy access to the Venetian highways network and Marco Polo International airport is just 30 minutes away. The reliable Venice water taxi system provides visitors with a fast and efficient transport service to destinations across the city. A full range of port services are available including repairs, fuel laundry and boat charter. There are also water sport activities at the port, which has earned a coveted environmental certificate.

VENICE YACHT PIER

Venice Yacht Pier is a yachting agency specializing in accommodating superyachts in the city and can berth yachts up to 394 feet.

Currently VYP provide berthing at five locations: Riva San Bagio, Riva Dei Sette Martiri, Adriatica, Salute and San Basilio 24. Due to environmental laws in the lagoon the only port where refuelling is permitted is Basilio 2.

Italian marinas: Venezia Certosa Marina, Marina D’Arechi and Marina Di Portisco

• Stef Bottinelli

If you are looking for a marina in Italy, Venezia Certosa Marina in Venice, Marina D'Arechi on the Amalfi Coast and Marina Di Portisco in Sardinia are situated in stunning locations, offer top notch facilities and are attractively priced.

Situated on Certosa Island, a mere 10 minutes away from Venice’s famous St Mark’s Square, Venezia Certosa Marina is built on 24 hectares of natural beauty which has recently been regenerated. The marina boasts 300 moorings and can accommodate boats up to 60 metres, including deep draft yachts.

Fresh water, WiFi, power, 24 hour security and boat checks when the owners are away are all inclusive. Venezia Certosa Marina offers a variety of facilities such as a hotel, a restaurant and bar, indoor and outdoor dry storage, laundry and dry cleaning facilities, a sailing school and kayak excursions.

The onsite boatyard is available for maintenance, repairs and refits. Its craftsmen build traditional Venetian boats, so a visit would truly be steeped in history.

The marina’s prime location makes it ideal to explore the Venice lagoon with its beautiful islands including, Torcello, Murano, famous for its glass making and Burano, known for its lace work.

If you’d like to sail a little further, the marina is only 200 nautical miles from the pretty town of Split in Croatia and if you feel like staying on dry land for a day, not only is the city of Venice simply enchanting to get lost in, but the Dolomites mountains are just a two hour drive away, and the fashionable city of Milan is only three hours away by train or car.

Luis Vuitton Cup’s founder and Olympian Bruno Troublé is one of Venezia Certosa Marina’s berth holders.

“What a discovery!” he says, “Peace and quiet, no tourists, only 10nm from the centre…a wonderful place to make the most of Venice and the Adriatic Sea”.

                      Watch the video below and get the inside information from Bruno

If sailing on the Gran Canal is not enough to be tempted, the marina is also very reasonably priced. An annual berth for 2017 costs around £3,800 for a 12m monohull.

On their website, http://marina.ventodivenezia.it , you can find a really useful tool that calculates your berthing costs ahead of booking, so you’ll get no unpleasant surprises.

James Bond and Spirit Yachts fans will be delighted to know that Venezia Marina Certosa’s CEO Alberto Sonino was the man in charge of overseeing  the delivery of the yacht Soufrière , which starred in Casino Royale with Daniel Craig and Eva Green. Sonino coordinated the crew on location when they were shooting scenes in Venice. 

The marina is also very easy to reach from the UK, the rest of Europe and the world, with daily direct flights to Venice.

Just east of the city of Salerno, on the stunning Amalfi Coast, a UNESCO world heritage site, Marina D’Arechi is one of the largest marinas in Italy.

It has 1,000 moorings and caters for yachts from 10m to 100m.

Adjacent to Capri, Positano, Ischia, Pompeii, Ravello and Paestum, the marina is the perfect location to explore the breathtaking Campania region.

How much does a Venice yacht charter cost?

The cost of a yacht charter in Venice can vary depending on several factors such as the season, duration, type of boat, the port or marina rented form, and whether you hire a skipper or include any extras. The following are the average daily or weekly prices for different types of boats.

A sailboat rental in Venice for 10 people typically costs around €650 per day and €4,500 per week in the high season. In the low season, prices are generally lower, averaging around €243 per day and €1,700 per week.

Renting a motorboat in Venice can cost approximately €390 per day during the high season and €300 per day in the low season for 7 people.

Should you rent a boat in Venice with or without a skipper?

You can choose between renting with or without a skipper with a boat hire in Venice. A skipper brings a wealth of experience and local knowledge, ensuring your safety and the safety of your group throughout the voyage. A skipper knows the best routes, hidden gems, and noteworthy sights in and around Venice. They can provide valuable insights and recommendations, enhancing your sailing experience. With a skipper on board, you can relax and enjoy your time without worrying about navigation, mooring, or other technical aspects of sailing. If you're interested in sailing, a skipper can offer guidance and even teach you sailing techniques if you're willing to learn.

Renting a boat without a skipper provides more privacy and flexibility. You can explore at your own pace and follow your itinerary. For experienced sailors, a bareboat charter lets you showcase your skills and navigate the waters independently. Renting without a skipper can be more cost-effective since you won't have to pay for the skipper's services.

What is the best time of year for a Venice boat rental?

The best time for a Venice boat hire depends on several factors, including weather and sailing conditions, festivities, and high or low season. The summer months, from June to September, generally offer warm temperatures, calm seas, and light to moderate winds, providing favourable sailing conditions in Venice. However, this is also the peak tourist season, so popular destinations may be crowded.

Venice is renowned for its festivals, such as the Venice Carnival and the Biennale, which attract visitors from around the world. Chartering a private boat during these events can provide a unique and vibrant experience, but it's crucial to plan and book well in advance due to increased demand. The high season, typically from May to September, offers warmer weather, longer days, and a bustling atmosphere in Venice. Prices may be higher, and popular destinations can be more crowded. The low season, from October to April, offers cooler temperatures, fewer tourists, and the opportunity to explore Venice's charm in a quieter setting. Prices tend to be lower during this period.

Sailing into Venice: how the city of love won my heart

• August 30, 2023

Phil and Roxy Johnson enjoy a memorable cruise to Venice, exploring the ‘city of love’ by boat

I’ll be the first to admit that I wanted to ‘skip’ Venice. In the myriad of Mediterranean sailing destinations I discussed with my wife and co-captain, Roxy, I thought we shouldn’t take time away from the endlessly beautiful archipelago of Croatia to sail to the northernmost end of the Adriatic to visit Venice. Why would we? Just to end up getting our keel stuck in a Venetian lagoon mudflat, or push through mobs of tourists all trying to snap the same picture of a gondolier under the Rialto bridge? But after searching in vain for a reasonably priced marina near a major international airport so we could leave our boat to attend a summer wedding back in the US, our plans coalesced around sailing to Venice… and I’m so glad it did.

Since late 2018, Roxy and I have been working remotely while living aboard our 47ft monohull yacht, Sonder . She’s taken us from the Caribbean to the USA, across the North Atlantic, and throughout the Mediterranean visiting a succession of once-in-a-lifetime destinations, though possibly none quite as unique as Venice.

Lying at the northern tip of the Adriatic, Venice can be reached via a long daysail from the Istrian coast of Croatia or, as we did, an overnight passage from further south along the Dalmatian coast. As of January, Croatia is now part of the same Schengen EU immigration zone, so departing sailors no longer need to stamp out when sailing to Italy. However, last summer that was not the case, so our passage began with an abnormally lengthy two-hour Croatian exit formality at a concrete quayside in Marina Kremik before motoring out into a becalmed slate-blue Adriatic.

With a somewhat limp mainsail hoisted tight to catch the first hint of wind, we motored north-west to immediately exit Croatian waters (as per the Croatian law in 2022) before adjusting our course northerly towards the vast Venetian Lagoon. It was now past 2100hrs and the daytime humidity had given way to a light evening fog which diffused the lights of hundreds of nearby squid fishing boats. To starboard, the Bora wind-scoured mountains of Croatia’s coastline created a wall of darkness, juxtaposed on the opposite side by the light pollution of the lower lying mainland of Italy.

A gentle evening south-easterly breeze finally set in and, with Roxy on the jib sheet, we unfurled our big 130% genoa, killed the engine, and trimmed our mainsail for a broad reach. Sonder glided along at a quiet, respectable 5 knots. At around 0300, I was on watch as we passed a distant oil drilling platform. Their hulks of machinery and lights looked like a floating city all of its own. My thoughts began to drift towards our destination.

Built for mariners

We’d both visited Venice as tourists in the past, and while I remember being impressed by the many historic sites around the city, I don’t recall anything very special about the arrival by train. In fact, if you fly to Venice or come via the causeway by car, bus, or train (as most do) you’re actually entering the city through the back door. Venice was built by merchant mariners as a maritime city to face the sea – everything from the layout of the canal-streets, to the defences and facades of the buildings all orient toward the water. So, as we gradually sailed closer through the dark night, I realised that we’d be entering the city the same way sailors have for over a millennium.

Overnight the south-easterly continued to build until we had a steady 18 knots on our starboard aft-quarter which pushed the shallow green waters of the northern Adriatic into messy piles of wave chop. As dawn began to break, the lagoon’s wooded barrier island of Lido lay ahead, shielding any view of Venice and its lagoon from the sea. Were it not for the red and green channel markers that stand on weathered wooden pylons driven into the muddy bottom, it would be very difficult to actually sight this natural entrance into the lagoon.

To control increasingly severe flooding, Venice has been building a rising storm gate system, aptly named Moses, that effectively closes off all entrances of the lagoon to the Adriatic Sea. Cruising friends of ours told us of arriving on a flood tide only to find the barrier had been raised, shutting the city off from the Mediterranean entirely. They tacked back and forth across the channel – on a lee shore – for hours waiting for the tide to fall before the gate finally was opened. This time, we were lucky to find the gates fully open. After dropping our sails – as sailing through the channel is not permitted – we motored past the concrete gate control tower and into the shelter of the Venice lagoon.

Almost immediately, we felt transported to another world. Dense stands of laurel trees stood dotted with nesting white egrets among ruins of overgrown brick naval fortifications. Grey herons fished among tidal grasses lining the shallow edge of channel banks. The air was thick and heavy with the humidity you’d expect from southern Europe’s largest wetland, and already warming in the dawn light. We rounded a bend in the channel and there, rising out of the milky teal lagoon, its outline fluttering slightly through the heat, was Venice in all its indisputable glory.

At this early hour there were very few other boats out on the water, or the accompanying boat wake which famously erodes the foundations of the city with incessant lapping. The waters of the lagoon were uncharacteristically still and calm, showing off reflections of the impressive Venetian campaniles towering above. With our jaws still on the floor of the cockpit, we missed the turn towards our marina entirely. Instead, we slowly kept motoring Sonder further in, towards the main thoroughfare – the junction at the heart of Venice where the grand canal, San Marco square, and the Doge’s Palace meet. All the while pinching ourselves at the uniquness of the moment: did we really just sail our floating home from America onto the doorstep of one of Europe’s most historic cities?

A life afloat

Visiting cruisers don’t need to stay in a marina when sailing to Venice. There are some shallow water anchorages outside of the main navigation channels, as well as further east in the lagoon near the island of Burano. But considering Sonder ’s draught of over 6ft and the fact we needed to leave her for our flight back to the US, we chose to tie up at the well appointed, and quite reasonably priced Marina Certosa, located on an island by the same name, immediately adjacent to Venice.

Isola Certosa is the site of a former military barracks, now in ruins and returned to wooded forest land, that has been turned into a multi-use space with a marina, restaurant, park, lodging, and art gallery. The marina makes use of the old fortified canals that now house modern finger docks serviced with manicured paths lined with oleander trees. If your vessel is blessed with an air-conditioning unit as Sonder is, then it’s a comfortable and calm escape from the noisy hive of Venice. Walks through the woods surrounding the marina will treat you to the sight of flamingos in the lagoon, and the sounds of millions of summer cicadas.

While we may have air-con, we don’t have a washing machine, so one of our first missions ashore was to find a place to do our laundry. An exciting first day in the romantic city of Venice! The marina’s facilities were still being developed so we set off on the vaporetto (Venice’s canal public transit system). Several stops later we alighted in San Marco square where we spent the next hour threading our way through hordes of tour groups while lugging bags of dirty washing in the hot midday sun. The hilarity of our circumstances was not lost on us!

Eventually, we found the small, Venetian-owned ‘lavanderia’ we were searching for in a narrow back alley. On leaving we suddenly noticed how convenient the access to this back alley was – if coming by canal. Baulking at the thought of fighting the crowds again the following day, we cheekily decided then and there that we’d return with our own dinghy to pick up our laundry, via the canal system. How hard could it be?

Knowing the Venetian rules of the ‘road’ is essential for navigating the canals. While Venice has banned recreational boats from the Grand Canal, you can take your dinghy in the smaller canals. A no-wake speed limit of 5km/h is in place for the smaller canals in order to protect the city’s eroding foundations. Many canals are labelled for one-way traffic only (though the gondoliers seem to freely ignore this rule). The fact that many canals can dead end, or empty into the forbidden Grand Canal, makes navigation through Venice a bit complicated and nerve-racking at first. We spent time strategizing our route each time before setting off. Additionally you must take care to pass oncoming boats port-to-port, unless it’s a gondolier, in which case you pass on their starboard oar side – or risk being shouted at.

So early the following morning, we left Marina Certosa in our Highfield RIB tender, crossing the open lagoon, which was already roiling with speeding water taxis and rumbling vaporettos. We retraced the same route towards San Marco square that we’d taken at dawn in glorious calm conditions with Sonder . This time, however, the water was rough with confused wake sloshing about from the constant water traffic. Roxy was getting soaked on the bow hanging on for dear life while navigating, as I tried to keep control and dodge the vaporettos. Eventually we arrived at our planned entrance into the canal system that would lead us to the lavanderia. We motored forwards, eager to escape the wake, but nervous about what seemed like it should be a forbidden activity… could we really just drive our own dinghy into the Venice canals?

Standing on the marble footbridge overhead were dozens of tourists eagerly taking photos in our general direction. It was hard to tell whether they were capturing the iconic scene of a dozen black, lacquered gondolas or the single out-of-place rubber dinghy entering the labyrinthine inner-city canal system.

Local perspective

After a few grazes against the canal wall, we quickly started to get the hang of it. While I waited canal-side for Roxy to grab our laundry, I talked with a Venetian teenager who brought his barge alongside to deliver baked goods through the back door of an adjacent hotel. This common Venetian barge boat is called a mototopo (literally translates to motorised mouse). With similar proportions to a short English narrowboat, they require skilful helming to get around the right-angled corners of the canals. Throughout Venice, everything in the city gets picked up and delivered by these boats: from garbage to scaffolding to loaves of bread.

Feeling emboldened by the experience, we began using our dinghy for every errand into Venice – memorable grocery runs, visits to a coffee shop, even a nice dinner out. One evening we hopped in the dinghy and zipped all the way to the north end of Venice in the quiet, residential neighbourhood of Cannaregio. There, we tied our dinghy up alongside the stone canal wall where dozens of young Venetians sat perched after spilling out of a small wine bar next door. Soon we had two glasses of Italian white bio-wine and a board of local cichetti (Venetian tapas) as we sat canal-side by our dinghy with the locals. In that moment, we wondered how we could ever experience Venice in any other way again. We soaked it all up, melding into the lively tableau around us while the setting sun cast coral hues off the tiled roofs.

Away from the obligatory tourist sights and photo ops, this city bustles with an authenticity we knew nothing about. It’s a city uniquely shaped by life on and in the water. Once you’ve witnessed Venice as you approach from the Adriatic, puzzled your way out of dead-end canals in your own boat, drunk wine and chatted with the locals at the water’s edge, and drifted among the layered ruins of the world’s most powerful maritime empire, you can never quite see it the same way again. It has become one of the greatest destinations we have ever sailed to.
