As far back as 1986, firstly in Italy, RVF enthusiastically and successfully promoted this superb formula for holidays. The wonderfully unique environment, the willpower and an adequately prepared technical organisation have made this entrepreneurial adventure a consolidated and well appreciated reality. Chioggia (a fishing town at the most southern point of the Venetian lagoon) has always been its headquarters and first base.

The centrality of this suggestive and picturesque “water” town in the panorama of the Po/Venetian navigation routes make it an ideal port and departure launch for the most beautiful and successful itineraries during any season of the year.
The base is in a panoramic position, strategically positioned between Chioggia (historic centre, 300 m) and Sottomarina (bathing area, 500 m). A range of shops, banks and restaurants etc are all in the vicinity.

Marano Lagunare (town in the centre of the lagoon of Grado and Marano).
Another splendid community, ideally already a twin-town with Chioggia due to its prosperous fishing reality, since 2004 it is the second operative base of RVF.
It is an excellent arrival and departure point for those who choose just a “one-way” cruise.
The base is only 300 m from the historic centre of the town, on an island/port connected to the mainland by two bridges, one for pedestrians and the other for vehicles.
Shops, banks and restaurants are all within walking distance.
