Pirates Galleon
If you wish to pull out all the stops and surprise your guests with absolutely unusual and special Venetian experience, we suggest you to organize your wedding reception or celebrate your birthday or special date a board a ‘Pirate Galleon’.
The Pirate Galleons, built in 2001, are perfect reproductions of vessels used by the Republic of Venice from 1600 – 1800 for cargo, as warships, for the plundering of trade routes, for exploration and for the maritime activities which brought so much to enrich Venice and her islands in terms of history, art and culture.
As soon as you come aboard, you will notice the cannons lined up along the galleon’s hull, swags of mooring ropes, rope halyards, old rum and wine casks, ornamental decorations, pictures of pirates in action and many other tiny details that go to add to a genuine and truly original atmosphere, just right for your exclusive party.
Guests are received by the captain and by his crew who, all dressed in the costume of the period or, if you prefer, in classic elegant costumes, welcome guests aboard with a drink.
All is ready for your party, it is time to cast off from the moorings and to immerse yourself in a fantastic adventure that takes your party weaving between the islands of Venice’s lagoon. The navigation lasts 5 hours (even more on request). During the navigation your guests could avail of all the drinks in the bar lounge, such as water, coke, lemon-soda, beer, red or white wine and, prosecco.
