Zen Mare
Welcome on board!
I’m Fabio, a native Venetian with a passion for navigation.
Growing up on the Island of Lido, I developed a deep connection with water and boats, elements which make Venice unique.
Today, I am dedicated to creating exclusive boat tours around the lagoon where I was born, aiming to share my passion and offering authentic emotions away from conventional touristic circuits.
I invite my guests to discover hidden corners of the Venetian lagoon, accessible only by water, conveying the respect and love I have for this extraordinary city.
With private tours for up to 4 people, you are ensured to receive a personalized service with meticulous attention to detail.
My boat is an elegant and historic Tempest, built at Cantieri Nautici Solcio in 1967 and recently refitted with utmost care, from the refined polished wood to the elegant upholstery.
“TEPA,” my boat, will glide you into the unique experience of seeing Venice through the eyes of those who live here every day.
