Tourists on the Grand Canal in a water taxi ride through the the Ghetto Ebraico (Jewish) district in the northern part of Venice, Venezia, Italy
Venice water taxis have evolved to the present design, The inboard engines are at the rear of the boats to give maximum area inside for passengers comfort. The engine propulsion is converted through a Z drive positioned directly underneath the engine . .Z drives give dexterity for the boats to turn the tight corners of Venice's narrow canals,unlike the mid engined boats of previous years with long stern gear with propellers mid boat length and therefore turning circles greater than Z drives. The hulls of the boats are flat sections with hard chines on the turn to the hull sides. This enables the boats to reach planing speeds in the Venice Lagoon where speed limits are greater and essential for their passengers to get around the outside waters of Venice (town )and the airport runs. The aesthetics of a wooden Venice water taxi is important and the topside curves varnished wood and bright work is reminiscent of the luxurious famous 'Riva' lake ' boats a favourite of celebrities, sports stars, royalty and heads of state, as is the intention. The hulls flat bottom are hidden from view as the curved topsides meet each other the below the water line thus helping the deception. CANTIERE SERENELLA LIMOUSINE water taxis are considered one of the finest builds with its shipyard on the near island of Murano. Figures of 250,00 Euros are mentioned of their costs per bespoke order.
