This is the only option here that reaches the middle of Venice without a second ticket. Everything on wheels stops at Piazzale Roma.

It is slow — 85 minutes — because it is a boat making stops, not a transfer. Budget the time even though it costs less door to door than the bus.

If your hotel is near Piazzale Roma or the station, take the bus instead: you would be paying for water you do not need.

The dock is a walk from the terminal along a covered walkway. Allow for it with heavy luggage.

It may legally carry up to twenty people — the municipal regulation caps a licence at twenty, and operators run boats seating about ten. That is far more than the four almost every other airport taxi allows.

It still does not beat the boat service for a group, because the fare stops being flat above four people: eight travelers pay EUR 150.00 against EUR 144.00 on Alilaguna. It only pulls ahead at nine.

Between 00:00 and 07:00, check you are buying a boat. The operators' own consortium warns that at those hours an airport booking may mean a car to Piazzale Roma and a boat onward.

A flat EUR 10.00 is added to the whole fare between 22:00 and 06:00.

This is the only option that can reach a hotel door, where a canal allows it — which for some addresses with luggage is the whole argument.
