Location & Contact Details

Location

Venice Kayak is based at the Vento di Venezia ↗, on the Certosa island in the lagoon, just east of Venice city.

The Certosa island is served by vaporetto lines 4.1 and 4.2 (formerly lines 41 and 42), which are circular lines spanning most of Venice and Murano. These lines connect the island to the bus terminal and parking facilities at Piazzale Roma, to the railway station, and to many central vaporetto stops like San Marco, Fondamente Nove and Murano.

From much of the Sestiere Cannaregio the fastest is to walk to Fondamente Nove, and take the vaporetto 4.2 from there, as per the time table above.

Fondamente Nove is the main vaporetto stop on the northern side of Venice, and it serves a lot of vaporetto lines.

From much of the central parts Sestiere Castello the fastest route is to walk to Fondamente Nove, Ospedale or Celestia, and take the vaporetto 4.2 from there.
