We took the boat last month from Venice to the airport. We paid on board. For a schedule and price list use the follwing link: http://www.alilaguna.it/. It's a short walk from the dock to the terminal at the airport. There is a shuttle from the docks to the terminal, not sure how much it costs.

Its about a 10 min walk from the airport to the Boat. Rick's Italy guide was most helpful and gave exact instructions on how to find it. The boat trip is a wonderful intro the city - you stop at Murano and go past some of the other Islands and drops you at San Marco (busy and packed). I think the boat cost 15Euro. Make sure you get the vaporetto, not the water taxi which is very expensive (but fast - I got well sprayed by a passing one!)
