About the Burano A – Torcello crossing
Thirty-four departures at quarter-hour intervals, every day, and then nothing. The service starts at 09:30 and the last boat leaves at 17:45 — eight and a quarter hours, and outside them this pairing carries no service at all.
The hours are the opening hours
Torcello has a cathedral with eleventh-century mosaics, a campanile, a handful of houses and about ten permanent residents. The boat runs when the church is open and stops when it closes.
Five minutes for 0.5 nautical miles
Six knots across the shallow northern lagoon. Every one of the thirty-four sailings carries a full seven-day calendar — there is no reduced Sunday version to check.
Summer plan to 31 August
Quarter-hourly is the high-season figure. The autumn edition cuts the frequency rather than the span, which on a route this short is the difference between turning up and planning.
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.
