At the end of the day, no one can avoid asking these questions:
- Do you still know what the word “Feierabend” means?
- Are you celebrating tonight?
- Do you celebrate the fact that you did a good job today?
- Are you celebrating your life?
- Are you celebrating a wonderful evening in a beautiful city?
Venice is a city built on and in the water: so celebrate the evening in authentic, stylish fashion on a sailboat, against the backdrop of Venice’s unique skyline.
Like soooo many things here in the Venice guides, it’s not just about a product, or an admission ticket, or checking something off a list. It’s about soooo much more:
- It's about the attitude toward life,
- for the joy of life,
- to take with me every possible emotion this city has to offer.
- It's not about showing off a photo or selfie of the skyline back home.
- It's about you—about a lasting memory in your heart,
for a once-in-a-lifetime highlight,
That tingling sensation all the way to the tips of my hair: Yes, I was there. - Yes, I celebrated that evening in style.
- Yes, that day was very, very special to me.
- And yes: This vibrant Venice really is something truly unique.
And all of this for the price of a single dinner for two.

The „No-Stress“ Catamaran:
Venezia Catamaran Cruises – A synonym for comfort and elegance:
Our beautiful catamaran combines spacious accommodations, panoramic views, music, and Venetian hospitality.
The ship, easily recognizable by its deep-red sails and Venice’s iconic winged lion, offers daily cruises through the lagoon from April through October.
Each regular trip lasts 90 minutes and includes a free drink from the onboard bar.
The „No Stress“ is also available for exclusive private and corporate charters and has a certified capacity of up to 84 passengers.
Whether it's an aperitif at sunset, a wedding reception, or a corporate event—every trip offers an unforgettable view of Venice, far from the crowds and out in the open lagoon.
The „No Stress“ Experience: „No Stress“ is both the name of the boat and the philosophy behind every cruise. Guests can move freely around the spacious deck, relax on the large sun loungers at the bow, enjoy a drink at a bar table, or make themselves comfortable in the lounge on the aft upper deck.
The open layout offers every passenger plenty of space to relax and enjoy the view. The atmosphere changes throughout the day: a leisurely cruise in the afternoon, classical music during the „golden hour,“ live saxophone music at sunset, and livelier music after dark.
The well-stocked onboard bar serves Prosecco, wine, beer, Spritz, Bellini, gin and tonic, cocktails, soft drinks, and non-alcoholic cocktails.
Spacious foredeck.
Spritz Cruise: A relaxing afternoon cruise with chill-out music, refreshing drinks, and sweeping views of the lagoon—perfect for families, couples, and anyone looking for a break from the heat and hustle and bustle of the city.
Golden Hour Cruise: A peaceful late-afternoon cruise accompanied by classical music. Experiencing the Venetian Lagoon to the sounds of Vivaldi, Bach, and Chopin creates a particularly evocative connection between the landscape and Venice’s cultural heritage.
Sunset Jazz Cruise: The highlight of the evening—live saxophone music, a Venetian aperitivo with cicchetti, and a romantic atmosphere as the sun sets behind the city skyline. Swing, bossa nova, and jazz standards provide the soundtrack for a truly magical evening.
Venice by Night: A lively cruise through the illuminated lagoon, featuring live saxophone music that adapts to the mood on board. Jazz and swing give way at times to Latin American rhythms, and guests often turn the spacious deck into a dance floor.

The Story Behind Venezia Catamaran
Venezia Catamaran S.r.l. was founded in November 2020 by German entrepreneur Andreas Albrecht, turning a long-cherished dream into a unique experience for Venice.
The „No Stress“ was built specifically in France and arrived in Venice in June 2021;
Regular operations began in April 2022.
Before moving to Venice, Andreas worked internationally as a CFO, project manager, and management consultant.
He entered the shipping and tourism industries without having any relevant professional background in those fields, and in the process learned Italian.
His motivation stemmed from a deep connection to Venice and Italian culture, as well as from his passion for music, hospitality, and the desire to,
to create something truly new.
Since he had grown up on Lake Constance, building a business on the water also meant a return to his roots.
