About the S. Marco-San Zaccaria F – Giardini Biennale B crossing
Fifty-eight departures a day, from 00:08 to 23:48, every day of the week. The run from San Marco–San Zaccaria along to Giardini Biennale takes 5 minutes over 0.6 nautical miles, and there is no day pattern to check at all — ACTV works this stretch around the clock.
Water as public transport
Venice has no roads, so the vaporetto is not an alternative to a bus, it is the bus. A fifty-eight-sailing timetable on a five-minute hop reflects that: the boat is expected to be there when you reach the pontoon rather than at an hour you have looked up.
Eight minutes past midnight
The first departure of the day and the last are twenty minutes apart across the turn of midnight, which in practice means the line never fully stops. Night services on the Grand Canal and the Riva are thinner than daytime ones but they do not disappear.
The current edition ends on 31 August
ACTV publishes its navigation timetables for fixed periods, and this one covers 15 July to 31 August 2026. An autumn edition replaces it rather than extending it, so times after that date should be checked against the operator.
