About the Rialto B – S. Silvestro crossing
Seventy-two departures from 05:20 to 20:07, and every one runs seven days a week. A single calendar for the whole timetable, at a fixed twelve-minute headway.
Three minutes for 0.1 nautical miles
Two hundred metres down the Grand Canal. San Silvestro is one stop from Rialto on the San Polo side, close enough to walk if you know the calli and far enough to be worth the boat if you do not.
An early start and an early finish
Twenty past five in the morning to seven minutes past eight at night. Our data holds a D-to-S. Silvestro pairing that covers the same water with fourteen sailings, almost all of them after eight in the evening — the two together give the stop a full day.
Summer plan to 31 August
ACTV reissues by season. The pontoon letters at Rialto identify the line rather than the direction, which is why one pair runs mornings and the other evenings.
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.
