About the Murano Colonna B – S. Marco-San Zaccaria E crossing
Twenty-eight minutes over 1.1 nautical miles: this is one of the slower crossings in the lagoon relative to distance, and the timetable puts all eleven of its daily departures between 11:38 and 16:38.
Seventy-seven sailings a week concentrated in five hours of the middle of the day describes what the route carries — visitors going out to Murano after breakfast and back before the evening.
The pace is not the boat's fault. The route crosses the open lagoon, and speed limits inside the buoyed channels are enforced strictly because wash from motor traffic undermines the foundations of the city. Murano itself has made glass since 1291, when the furnaces were moved out of Venice to keep fire away from the wooden buildings.
