Venice and the Lagoon from another perspective
Boat rental in Venice
The luxury of choosing your own route
Marea is a motorboat rental service with a professional skipper. We depart from Punta Sabbioni – a few kilometers from Venice – and navigate through the lagoon, Venice, and its islands. We will decide the route together, based on your wishes. You can book for a few hours or a full day. On board, everything is designed to let you experience the sea without rush, far from the shore and the crowds.
What you'll find on board
One boat, many ways to experience it
On board, you’ll find a spacious cockpit for socializing, a sunbathing area at the bow – with cushions and space to stretch out – and a well-equipped galley with everything you need for an aperitivo. In short, everything necessary for an unforgettable day at sea. We can plan a stop, eat on the boat, or take a dip where the water is most inviting.
The boat is equipped with a restroom, and every outing includes a skipper and equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Experience Guide
Is it possible to rent the boat for a private party?
Absolutely yes. Our boat can be rented exclusively for private experiences and always with our skipper on board. It is ideal for small, intimate events, such as bachelor or bachelorette parties, birthdays, or romantic proposals. Many guests also use it for corporate outings with clients and business partners. Furthermore, we can organize photo shoots on board.
Can we choose our own itinerary?
We will define the itinerary together, based on guests’ preferences, weather conditions, and safety. Navigation mainly takes place in the Venice lagoon, but upon request, we can also plan routes to Chioggia or Croatia (with prior authorization).
Is a catering service available on board?
There is no equipped kitchen on board, but we can organize a stop for lunch or an aperitivo on board. Upon request, we can organize a small selection of cold catering.
