About This Tour

Discover Murano's glassmaking, Burano's lace tradition, and Torcello's ancient settlements aboard a typical Venetian motorboat with your own captain. A private motorboat tour to Murano, Burano and Torcello with a customizable itinerary, hotel pickup, and the personalized attention of your own boat captain.

Torcello is older than Venice itself. Settlers first arrived in the lagoon's marshes around the 5th to 6th century, fleeing invasions on the mainland, and the island's Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta — still standing today — was founded in 639 AD, making it the oldest religious building in the entire lagoon. For a few centuries afterward, Torcello was a genuine trading and ecclesiastical center with its own bishop, well established before St. Mark's Basilica in Venice was even built, back when the lagoon's balance of power still ran the other way entirely.

That prominence didn't last. Plague, the gradual silting of its canals, and the malaria that followed eventually pushed almost everyone away; today Torcello's year-round population is in the single digits, and walking its quiet paths feels closer to visiting a ruin than a living town, with grazing sheep now easily outnumbering the handful of year-round residents on much of the island's open ground.

This private motorboat tour reaches Torcello alongside Murano's glassmaking workshops and Burano's lace-making tradition, with a customizable pace set by your own captain and hotel pickup included — so getting between three very different islands, each shaped by a different chapter of the lagoon's history, doesn't eat into the time you actually spend exploring them on arrival.
