Needed some transport from the city to the airport but didn't really want to get the train or bus as we were staying in St Marks square which is a long way from the stations. Easy to book online and compared to a taxi at 200 Euros it's geat value at 70Euros for two people. They pick up from the taxi rank and we're on time with a friendly reception. The boats hold about 10-12 people but plenty of room, the trip takes about 50 minutes to the airport from where we got on which is the furthest stop and picks others up on the way. Well recommended

The information about the meeting point and time came as announced. The departure was punctual and quick. The cab was not overloaded. You could have chosen the meeting point closer to the hotel, but that is probably often not possible in terms of coordination.

ticket experience was as good as possible. I like the size of the boat compared to the larger alilaguna boats. The drop off docks can be a bit tricky, in gettting off the boat and in carrying suitcased down a narrow dock. And, when you fill the boat with 15 people, the time it takes from the airport to your destination is not much shorter than that for the Alilaguna boats. I thought the sharing would be with fewer people, perhaps involving only 2 or 3 stops.

This is a great way to get to the airport from Venice. We had a 6am flight so the Vaporetto was not an option. Our contact for the transportation was easy to get ahold of when I had a question and he was exactly on time to pick us up.
