Venice is an expensive place to visit, even by boat. Marinas are 100+ euro a day. We were lucky enough to find out about an inexpensive local yacht club and booked a reservation. The place is well run, we can tie along side a dock (easy for boarding), the bathrooms and showers are clean, and we can walk to town. The people at the club are wonderful and we’ve had a great time getting to know the locals.
Flavio, one of the boat owners at the marina, has been gifting us with treats from his garden every other day. Fresh lettuce, violet artichokes (a local specialty), fennel, it’s a surprise every time he comes to visit. He’s also been great with local advice and recommendations (a must, as Venice is a total tourist trap and you need expert advice to avoid the pits).
