About the S. Marco-San Zaccaria C – S. Marco Giardinetti A crossing
Both ends of this crossing are called San Marco, and they are under four hundred metres apart. Fifty-nine departures cover it, from 09:14 to 20:50, every day, twelve minutes apart.
Why anyone would take it
Walking between the two takes about four minutes along the Riva degli Schiavoni. Nobody boards here for this leg alone — it is the first segment of a line running up the Grand Canal, and the passengers are staying on.
Five minutes for 0.2 nautical miles
Two knots. The time is the manoeuvring at two busy pontoons rather than the distance between them.
Summer plan to 31 August
The boat carries on to Accademia, leaving Giardinetti at the same minute it arrives — 09:14 out, 09:19 in, 09:19 away again. San Zaccaria alone has pontoons A through F in our data, each on a different line.
