Transfer from Marco Polo airport

There are three ways to get to the Grand Canal from the Marco Polo Airport:

1. Hire a water taxi.  You can book this online in advance (via a google search for Venice water taxi) or you can go to a booth in the airport and order one there.  It's about a 10 to 15 min walk from arrivals to the area where the water taxis dock.  There's a moving sidewalk but you can't take luggage carts on it.

2. Use the Alilaguna system.  It's a shared boat so isn't a private service.  It leaves from the same area as the water taxis and has different routes but is an easy way to get to the Grand Canal.  But if you are checking into a hotel it is easier to use a water taxi as that can get you closer to where you are staying (or directly to it if you book a place with a water entrance located on a canal). 

3. Take a vaporetto which is the public bus but I don't think you are interested in this since you asked for a private service.

 

Water taxis are very expensive but they are a wonderful way to enter Venice - I highly recommend this option if the cost isn't an issue.
