You've never paddled before, right? If you're a first-time kayaker, this is the perfect option for you. We'll start from the basics, get a one-on-one lesson to get the necessary skills and confidence, then go on water. We are Nicoló and Aleksandra, a young couple living in Venice. Members of a prominent rowing club, we practice water sports every day. We invite you to experience Venice by water with us. Let us show you Venice from another perspective — cultural, sports-oriented and local. Learn to kayak in the authentic area of Venice - Castello, beautiful district famous for the Medieval Arsenal. We will take you to this unique Medieval site and immerse you in the history. Visit the historically important Venetian rowing club, as it is the best place to immerse yourself in Venice's history, traditions, and contemporary life. By participating in our activities, you contribute to preserving this unique and historically significant site.

Where this sits in Venice

Venice is about 11 min by road from Venice Marco Polo Airport. Extraordinary and genuinely crowded, and the two are easy to reconcile: stay the night. The day trippers leave around six, and the city that is left — quiet canals, lit windows, footsteps — is the one worth coming for.
