Question concerning private water taxi

We are arriving at Marco Polo Airport from Atlanta on June 30 at 9:10 am. We are planning on taking a private water taxi directly to our hotel. If I reserve it for 10 am, will that give us enough time to clear customs and collect baggage? Or should I not reserve it and just hope that there is availability when we arrive?

I think that is tight. It’s a very busy airport and once you’ve cleared customs it’s quite a walk down to the dock.

We didn’t reserve one. It’s like a regular taxi in US airports, that’s how you get around. I believe we paid at the desk inside the airport and they gave us a slip of paper with a number on it.

I am not sure how much research you have done on that topic... I have done lots as I leave for Venice for the first time in 24 days! But from all my research a private water taxi is SUPER expensive.... plan on spending 160+ euro!!! I looked into booking a private car - which was a lot cheaper! But ended up purchasing tickets for the ATVO bus- will be 7 euro each for the 3 of us.

I posted a link to "shuttle direct" which will talk about your options!

If your hotel can be reached by car or bus your shuttle is a good idea. The issue is most of Venice is located where no cars or busses are allowed. People travel by the canals

No need to reserve. I just went to the water taxi stand in the airport, paid, got a ticket and want to my assigned boat.

Only why to go if your hotel has a dock.

True... our hotel is a 600 meter walk from the P. Roma and this is what our hotel recommends to. So this is an easy way for us to go.

I am going to Venice in July and have been in contact with my hotel as well. They gave me the same information and said no reservation is needed. Once you go through baggage claim, they told me there is the "Vienza Taxi stand" and they are the ones to speak with about it.
