Chioggia is from its very beginning, the headquarters and first base of Rendez-Vous Fantasia, a picturesque town located on the extreme south of the Venetian lagoon.
The centrality of this suggestive aquatic city in the framework of the navigable Po valley and Veneto’ s courses, makes this city the best departure port for the most beautiful itineraries during all seasons.
The headquarters is located in a panoramic site, strategically equidistant from Chioggia (strategic point) and Sottomarina (seaside area).
Since 2004, Rendez-Vous Fantasia has had at its disposal a support base in Marano Lagunare (Udine), a rich town located in the middle of the Grado and Marano lagoons.
It is a wonderful community, ideally already twinned with Chioggia for its flourishing fishing business; the perfect departure point and arrival site, also for people interested in doing a “one way” cruise.
There are many nearby attractions connected to the chosen itinerary:
- the Veneto Lagoon: oasis lipu of Caroman, island/village of Pellestrina, murazzi of Serenissima and the beach. Venezia, Murano, Burano, Torcello, San Francesco del Deserto, all small islands, the casoni, the velme and fishing valleys. The Mose, the huge hydraulic work under construction to protect Venice from rising tides.

- The coastal Veneta, one of the oldest water ways, created by the “Serenissima” during its maximum splendor to navigate protected waters from Chioggia to Grado/Mofalcone.
