Motoscafi - Venice Water TaxisMotoscafi are small, fast water taxis. They are numerous and can take you to harder to reach places in the city. They are expensive, even for short journeys. They can be hailed or preordered, as with most other types of taxi. We recommend ordering one from your hotel and asking for a quote. You can also book using a large consortium of taxis called Consorzio Motoscafi Venezia, who have been in operation for some years. They have 100 radio linked motoscafi available to cover the entire lagoon of Venice. Tel: +39 041 522 2303 Like other taxis when you hire a Motoscafi the boat is yours for the journey. You should not have to share it, but if you make private arrangements with other travellers you can. They can accommodate up to 10 people each with one piece of luggage. Realistically, if you choose to use one to leave Venice, this means 5 people with 2 suitcases each. Motoscafi to and from Venice AirportThe best use of Motoscafi is when you have to be at the airport for your flight on time. Book this transportation well in advance. The night before you leave is a good choice. Make sure you get a quote. This is so you know how much cash you have to take with you, for your final water journey. They are also very nice when you have just arrived. You can find you are very tired after a flight. The only thought on your mind may just be, "I want to get to your hotel fast." |
