About the Giudecca Palanca B – S. Basilio crossing
This three-minute crossing runs almost around the clock: 63 sailings a week with departures from 00:07 to 23:47, covering three-tenths of a nautical mile between the Giudecca and the Dorsoduro waterfront — nine departures a day, every day.
A single calendar governs the whole week. Nothing about the timetable changes between Monday and Sunday — the boat simply works the canal from just after midnight until just before it comes round again.
S. Basilio is the old maritime station on the Zattere side, where the passenger terminals stood before the cruise berths moved west. The Giudecca opposite was industrial into the twentieth century — Stucky's flour mill, shipyards, a film studio — and the night service across this stretch exists because people live on one side and work on the other, which has been true here for a very long time.
