Grado Lagoon - Trieste - Venice

You will then leave Certosa at 9.00 am. As we set start our trip you will pass between Lido and Cavallino bringing you out to the Adriatic Sea. The journey to the Grado Lagoon will take three hours of cruising. Jandona’s size offers you many opportunities to move around and relax. You can enjoy the sunbath on the fordeck, spreading out on the sun mattresses, or choosing the forward bench looking to the open sea. The bow area or the flybridge are the quietest areas during fast motoring to feel the breeze of the open sea. But you can also choose a more shaded place inside or on the aft deck. Our cook will soon start to prepare an Italian lunch.

When Jandona enters at 12.30 pm between Lignano and Isola di Porto Buso into the lagoon of Grado we only have a short drive to reach a secluded spot to anchor between romantic islands.

Now its swimming time. You could either step carefully into the warm water or you can use the elevated walkway to jump into the calm water. After enjoying a swim, our chef will surprise you with many Italian dishes. Up to six people served on the table on the aft deck, if you are more than 6 persons you will find a buffet inside the saloon. Our “bar” will try to accommodate all your needs; Prosecco, wine, beer, bio-soft drinks, or water.

After lunch you may have another swim or “siesta” on the foredeck, which can be covered by a shade on demand while Jandona will slowly manoeuvre through a delightful area with many small islands. Next, we will reach the busier basin next to Grado, one of the summer hotspots for beach hungry tourists.

We will leave the lagoon again heading directly to Trieste which you will be able to detect from the horizon. After a one-hour trip we will arrive in Italy’s biggest merchant harbour where it takes another short time to reach the yacht harbour close to the old city. When Jandona is safely moored our captain will show you the short walk to your hotel, where you will stay for this night. (It is possible to stay overnight on board Jandona for up to 6 persons. Please let us know in advance if you would like to sleep on board. If you choose to sleep on board, there might be some noise very close to the yacht club until late hours from people in late night bars).

Our reserved table at “Ai Fiori” will welcome you at 8.30 pm, which gives you enough time to stroll through the pedestrian area close by.

The next morning you’ll choose between different sightseeing opportunities; museums, strolling through the old town or shopping.

We will meet on Jandona at around 1.30 pm where our chef will have a light buffet for lunch. We will leave at around 2.30 pm heading directly back to Venice where we will arrive at 6 pm.

Before arriving in Venice our crew will serve you a one last cocktail as the sun sets. You will have the choice that our Captain cruises in front of St.Marco, letting you out on Riva Schiavoni or directly to Certosa from where we will bring you back to your Hotel either by Taxi (included in the price) or by our Fata Buona.
