About the Rialto D – S. Silvestro crossing
One sailing at 00:14, then nothing until 20:19. After that the boats come every twelve to twenty minutes until 23:54. Fourteen departures in total, all seven days a week.
Two hundred metres, three minutes
0.1 nautical miles down the Grand Canal from the Rialto pontoon to San Silvestro. They are one stop apart on the Grand Canal, which is why the daytime traffic belongs to other lines and only the evening service is listed against this pairing.
The evening tightens, then opens
20:19, 20:31, 20:43, 20:56 come at roughly twelve-minute intervals; from 21:16 the gap settles at twenty minutes and holds until midnight.
Summer edition to 31 August
ACTV reissues its Grand Canal timetables by season, and the late-evening end is where the autumn plan usually cuts 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.
