Price of Water taxi in Venice?

From our hotel to airport

I believe our water taxi cost about 105 Euro from our hotel to the airport. We were staying right on the Grand Canal next to the Sant Angelo vaporetto stop.
This was last May. Your mileage may vary.

hey marie
as sam says, usually 110E for ride to airport. they comes as close to your hotel as possible.
you can check venicelink.com under shuttle out. it's 25 E if you book online but check the stops, they do not do all of them. minimum of 2 but they may have you wait for more people before taking off. just read all the fine print or if other people from your hotel have flights same time as you then split costs.
good luck, it's a great way to arrive or depart.

We arrive by cruise ship and then will spend two nights at a hotel that has a drop off for water taxis. I have trouble with my knee and we will have suitcases. I think water taxi would be best for me from ship to Hôtel and then after 2 nights to airport. Cruise ship quoted $380 for both transfers. Was wondering if cheaper to plan ourselves. Thank you!

Is the place to get the water taxi at the port easy to find after getting off ship?
Says our ship docks at 7am.
Would I be able to get to the water taxi dock by 9am?

hi marie
looks like the venicelink.com does not pick up at cruise port. use the motoscafivenezia.it website. you can put leaving from and where to and date. make sure you have name of hotel and address, if need be print a copy of it and keep it with you or on phone.
do it on your own, they are charging you toooooooo much. by the way, what hotel are you staying in? o had knee issue and the water taxi way to go. they help you with your luggage into boat. say your "$$$"
to take a nice ride. you may find someone at hotel that may share ride with and split cost, just ask.
enjoy and have fun

Thank you to everyone.
Just wondering how far the walk from cruise ship docks to water taxi dock?
I am using wheelchair transfer off ship.
They said they would take me in wheelchair to water taxi dock, if I book transfer thru them. Otherwise they would just take me off ship to where bags are.

You'll need to find out where your cruise ship will actually dock- then use Google maps to see how close that is to water taxi dock
