Discover the enchanting city of Venice from an entirely new perspective with our Venetian Rowing Experience! Immerse yourself in the rich traditions of this unique city by learning the ancient art of Venetian rowing, known as voga alla veneta. Unlike traditional rowing, this style is performed while standing and facing forward, just as gondoliers have done for centuries.
Experience the Art of Venetian Rowing
During this unforgettable experience, you’ll have the opportunity to row a batellina, a traditional Venetian boat that is similar to a gondola but slightly smaller and more stable, making it perfect for learning. Under the expert guidance of a seasoned rower, you will master the techniques of voga alla veneta, navigating the picturesque canals and tranquil lagoon just as Venetians have for generations.
A Unique and Immersive Class
Your rowing class will take place in a serene, scenic area away from the bustling tourist paths, allowing you to fully engage with the authentic rhythm of the city. You’ll learn how to balance on the boat, utilize the distinctive single oar, and glide gracefully through the water. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have some prior experience, this hands-on lesson offers a fantastic way to connect with Venice’s rich history and culture.
Join us for this unique Venetian Rowing Experience and create lasting memories while mastering the timeless art of voga alla veneta in the breathtaking waters of Venice! Book your adventure today and embrace the spirit of this magnificent city from the water!
