AttenTION
You must not navigate in the following conditions:
• on the open sea

• fog or poor visibility
CREW
The minimum crew is two people: one adult + one person over
the age of 16 years.
Both people must be able to pilot the boat.
The base staff may deny you use of the boat if they consider that
the crew members do not have the necessary physical and men-
tal conditions to be reasonably self-sufficient to pilot it.
We recommend a crew of at least three people for complete
and safe handling.

MOORING OPPORTUNITIES
Reserved moorings
in Venice lagoon
Because of the number of boats and the traffic in Venice lagoon,
we have reserved a few moorings for our boats. These are locat-
ed in three areas in critical parts of the lagoon where there are
no other real alternatives. These areas are suitable for spending
the night, and for leaving the boat for excursions on land. All
of the mooring spots are just a short walk from ACTV waterbus
stops and are linked to all lagoon waterbus routes.
BICYCLES
It is very convenient to have bicycles on board to get the most
out of your holiday, stop for groceries and move about freely in
one of Italy’s most cycle-friendly regions. Bicycles are available
for rental at the base.
DOLPHINS
“Dolphins” (Briccole) are groups of wood or cement pilings that
indicate navigable channels in the lagoons. Without dolphins, it
would be impossible to distinguish shallow water from naviga-
ble areas. Nautical maps indicate the position of the dolphins
and the side of the channel on which they are located.
It is important to be able to read the position of the dolphins
on the map.
Landing is allowed only on designated mooring areas. Nautical
maps provided at the base will provide specific information. It’s
forbidden to moor outside authorised docking areas, as much as
anchoring in the middle of navigable canals.
