About the San Stae – Rialto B crossing
There is a boat at 00:03 and then nothing for nine and a half hours. The next one is 09:26. After that the service settles into a half-hourly rhythm and holds it until late evening.
Twenty-nine sailings, all seven days
From 09:26 the boats leave at :26 and :56 until 20:56. Then the pattern breaks: 21:33, 22:03, 23:03, 23:33 — four sailings on a looser spacing to close the day.
Five minutes down the Grand Canal
0.3 nautical miles from San Stae, by the baroque church front on the Santa Croce side, down to the Rialto pontoon. Six hundred metres of the busiest water in Venice.
29 April to 30 November 2026
A seven-month listing. The missing morning is the thing to note: nothing on this pairing runs between midnight and half past nine.
