About the Torcello – Burano A crossing
About ten people live on Torcello. Thirty-four sailings a day carry everyone else off it, at quarter-hour intervals from 09:40 to 17:55, every day of the week.
Nothing outside those hours
The basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, with its eleventh-century mosaics, is the reason people come. When it shuts, so does the timetable — there is no evening boat and no early one.
Five minutes for 0.5 nautical miles
Six knots across the shallowest part of the northern lagoon. The channel is marked with wooden piles because the water either side of it is not deep enough to float a vaporetto.
Summer plan to 31 August
The outbound leg is ten minutes ahead at every point — the same boat turning round. In autumn the frequency drops and the span stays.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Time-based tickets & tourist travel cards
- No reservation needed
- Frequent Grand Canal lines

Onboard facilities and vehicle, pet and luggage policies vary by operator and vessel; confirm details with the operator before booking.
