The Boat Taxi

Just as New York on the street, car taxis are recognizable by their yellow striped sides, so it is in Venice on the water, with the boat taxis!!

 

But the resemblance stops there because the price with the meter is definitely higher. Nevertheless, they are quite pleasant if you choose to spend the money.

 

Pay special attention during the negotiation of rates, before taking up passage on the boat taxi, making sure clear pricing is specified. The prices which are given to you are in effect prices per person.

 

For instance, if you are quoted a price of 50 Euros for the trip and there are four passengers, it means that price is ... 200 Euros. Take caution therefore to make this "detail" clear. To have an order of idea of the prices, plan a total price of approximately 80 to 100 Euros to go from the Marco Polo Airport to the center of Venice.
