Saturday 7 June Day in Venice; practice row on the Grand Canal.
Sunday 8 June VOGALONGA followed by a hearty celebration.
Monday 9 June Pack the boat and farewells as the boats head home.
Costs
Inclusive of all boat transport costs, entry to the event (including commemorative T shirt) and three nights’ accommodation in a twin room in a shared apartment on a self catering basis the cost is anticipated to be around £600-£650 per person (additional cost for single occupancy room of around £180.00). A non-refundable deposit of £100 per person secures your place. Partners and non-rowers are welcome, and its best to make a week of it... to enjoy late spring in Venice.
Additional costs for participants will be your personal travel arrangements to and from Venice, meals and personal spending. We welcome individuals who want to come in the car and share the driving with us.
If you want more information call me for a chat on 0780 3000 745.
It is a stunning 30km row through the canals and lagoon on a day when all engine powered craft are banned from the waters. 1,500 boats take part with crews from around the world in all manner of traditional rowing boats, coastal boats, kayaks and canoes. It's not a race but a gentle paddle and crews can stop and raft up in the lagoon to enjoy a water picnic.
