Wheelchair accessible water taxis in Venice comfortably transport
disabled passengers between the Venice cruise terminal, the Venice
airport, and the Venice Santa Lucia train station.

Venice wheelchair accessible water taxis have a hydraulic lift where most
of the normal water taxis have steps. The boat drivers are also trained to
assist passengers with disabilities.
4. www.sagetraveling.com
A maximum of 6 passengers can fit on the boats (including room for
luggage). Accessible water taxi reservations must be made in advance.
Accessible water taxi tours and accessible water taxi cruise excursions
are also available.

Traditional water taxis in Venice have steps to get in and out of them

wheelchair lift to bring disabled passengers from the boat level up to the
dock level (shown in the photo on the right):

The accessible Venice water taxis travel much faster than the vaparetto
boats, and they take you directly where you want to go without stopping
at vaparetto stops along the way.

Vaporetto boats can not go along the small canals in Venice. The Venice
wheelchair accessible water taxis can fit on almost every canal which
means you don’t have to walk/roll as far to your destination.

A water taxi staff member will securely tie the boat to the dock (shown in
the photo on the left). If you are arriving at a dock that is not level with
the boat, they can help carry you off the boat (shown in the photo on the
right). They can also assist you off the small platform lift into the covered
area in the back of the boat.

Photos of the disabled lift in operation are below. Staff can assist disabled
passengers including assistance with luggage.

This carrying chair is used to transport disabled Venice residents up and

book a fully accessible Venice hotel.
