About
About Venezialines
Venezia Lines runs the seasonal high-speed catamarans that skim across the Gulf of Venice, linking Venice with the coast of Istria in Croatia. It is the northern-Adriatic brand of Malta's Virtu maritime group, and made its first sailing in May 2003.
Venice to Istria
From spring to autumn its catamarans cross from Venice to the Istrian resorts of Poreč, Rovinj, Pula and Umag, and to Piran in Slovenia — day-trip and transfer sailings taking roughly two and a half to four hours. It is a tourist-oriented service rather than a year-round commuter line.
Fleet and fares
The service has been worked by Maltese-flagged fast catamarans such as San Frangisk, cruising at around 35 knots with about 300 seats and standard and VIP classes. Venice day trips are advertised from around €80, with advance-booking and family discounts; fares are in euros and vary by route and date.
