Chioggia is a small fishing town at the far southern edge of the Venetian lagoon. Its central position in relation to the Padano / Veneto waterways makes this attractive and picturesque "water" city an ideal springboard for the most beautiful routes in all seasons. The base is located in a panoramic position, strategically midway between Chioggia (historic centre, 300 m) and Sottomarina (seaside resort, 500 m).

Marano is another beautiful small town at the centre of the Grado and Marano lagoon, ideally twinned with Chioggia for its thriving fishing industry. The base is only 300 m from the historical centre on the island connected to the mainland by two bridges, one for vehicles and one for pedestrians.
