"Smooth ride to Venice. The ferry was wheelchair accessible and the staff was more than happy to help when the ferry was lower than the dock due to tide fluctuations."
Redzuan Razak
"The bus we took from our hotel, was dropping us just 20m from this station, it was very comfortable ride to Venice & Back, lots of boats during the day until late in the evening (10:00 or 11:00pm) which gives you the opportunity to see Venice for the whole day. While waiting for your boat yo can enjoy some souvenir shops and buy yourself a hat if you forgot yours at the hotel (like we did). Price was around10 Euro per person per one way....ride takes like 40 minutes as it has one stop on the way to St. Marco Piazza in Venice."

"Overpriced, not frequent enough. Use the Marco Polo or other operators if you actually want to get to venice quickly and cheaply. €19 return for adults and kids vs €10 return adults and a bit less for kids."
