Take advantage of our private mooring places to spend
the night.
PRIVATE MOORINGS
Rendez-vous Fantasia has developed, in view of its
expertise on the problems arising from the lagoon
and rivers further to the specific user requirements,
its own private moorings on the most visited islands,
and for this reason often difficult to approach,
in order to make this wonderful areas more accessible
to its clients. We provided new mooring places in
the heart of the historical centre of Chioggia and
the moor in Burano is now bigger to grant docks to
a larger number of boats.
SAFETY
To avoid all problems it is enough to have some common
sense. The strength/speed-ratio of the boat is completely
safe.
WATER AND GAS
The capacity of the water tank is 200 l. for the Alcova,
400 l. for the Triton and 500 l. for the New-Con-Fly.
During the cruise it will be necessary to fill it
up. On board every boat there are two gas bottles,
the consumption is included.
GAS OIL
The gas oil tank will be filled up before your embarkation.
You will pay the actual consumption on your return,
according to the motor hours. The average amount of
a week’s consumption is about 100, 00 Euro.
SAILING AND MOORING IN VENICE
Venice can be almost completely circumnavigate. It
is possible to sail Canale della Giudecca, Bacino
di San Marco. For your safety and for the respect
of our unique but fragile city, you are not permitted
to enter into the Canale Grande or the narrower canals
inside the city. As far as the mooring facilities
in Venice are concerned, Rendez-vous Fantasia disposes
of two mooring places, reserved and free for its
clients, in Vignole and Burano. Other mooring facilities
in Venice are the two Marinas of S. Elena and of
S. Giorgio (on payement).
