Timetable and season of the Venice to Murano and Burano ferry

The Venice to Murano and Burano ferry timetable is seasonal: high summer brings the fullest schedule and the earliest sell-outs; spring and autumn have fewer boats and better fares; winter runs a reduced service on many crossings. The crossing itself takes about 45 minutes. Tell us the day and we send the sailings, and we flag the ones most exposed to a cancellation in bad weather.

Sea conditions matter on this route: strong winds can delay or cancel high-speed boats while the conventional ferries keep sailing. When the forecast is poor we tell you and, if you prefer, book the steadier vessel.

Departure: Venice Fondamente Nove

The ferry from Venice to Murano and Burano leaves from Venice Fondamente Nove, in Venice - Venice is a city on water, and its Marco Polo Airport (VCE) sits on the mainland about 13 km north of the lagoon; a car reaches Piazzale Roma or the Tronchetto - the last points on wheels - or the mainland hotels of Mestre and Marghera, and from Piazzale Roma the vaporetto and water taxis continue to the islands. Treviso Airport (TSF) is about 30 km further north. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: The ATVO and ACTV buses reach Piazzale Roma in about 25 minutes, and the Alilaguna boat goes directly to San Marco but slowly; a car to Piazzale Roma with the driver helping the bags to the vaporetto or water taxi is the calm way in, and for Mestre hotels or Treviso it is the only sensible one.

• Luggage is carried free within the shipping line's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Venice Fondamente Nove; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your hotel in Venice to the port on request
• Just ask which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several

Arrival: Murano Faro, then Burano

Arrival is at Murano Faro, then Burano. Murano is the glass-blowing island and Burano the island of painted houses and lace, both in the Venetian lagoon. We can have a Haqqi Tours driver at the pier with your name, or tell you the best way to your hotel by bus or taxi. If you brought the car, the road out of the port is signposted for the main routes.

Arriving late? We note your arrival and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the ferry, so a delay costs you nothing.

On board the Venice to Murano and Burano ferry: seats, cabins and luggage

Best time to take the ferry from Venice to Murano and Burano

For the ferry itself, late spring and early autumn bring calm seas, full timetables and reasonable fares; July and August are the busiest and the most expensive, and the windiest weeks can cancel the fast boats. Winter schedules are thinner on many crossings, so we check before you plan.

How much does the ferry from Venice to Murano and Burano cost?

Ferry prices from Venice to Murano and Burano move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we check the fare for the day you want to sail and send it by WhatsApp before you decide.

Let us know for two or three sailings and we send the cost of each - fast boat and slow boat, morning and afternoon - so you can see the difference before you book the Venice to Murano and Burano ferry.
