About the Arsenale BGiardini Biennale B crossing

Forty-one departures at twenty-minute intervals from 06:44 to 20:04, and every one runs seven days a week. Not a single gap and not a single day-of-week variation in the whole timetable.

Three minutes for 0.4 nautical miles

Seven hundred metres along the Riva from the Arsenale stop to the Giardini. On foot it is about ten minutes past the Naval History Museum — the boat is for people continuing east rather than for this hop alone.

Every sailing at :04, :24 or :44

Three numbers cover thirteen and a half hours of service. That is as close to not needing a timetable as a scheduled boat gets.

Summer plan to 31 August

The Giardini pontoon is the one that matters in Biennale years, and the twenty-minute headway reflects it. ACTV publishes lagoon timetables by season; the autumn edition thins the evening first.

Vehicles, pets & onboard

  • Time-based tickets & tourist travel cards
  • No reservation needed
  • Frequent Grand Canal lines
  • Lagoon island connections

Onboard facilities and vehicle, pet and luggage policies vary by operator and vessel; confirm details with the operator before booking.
