Row like a Venetian

We are a group of local vogatori, Venetian by birth and by choice, dedicated to the preservation and promotion of traditional Venetian cultura acquea, the water culture.

Our goal is to raise international awareness of the voga alla veneta — the unique rowing style developed to traverse the city and its lagoon, and made famous by the gondoliers — while generating broader support for the role of the voga and typical Venetian boats.

To that end, we offer travelers first-hand experience of this rich heritage as it is expressed in this unique rowing style.

By participating in—not just observing—this very-Venetian pastime, you’ll acquire a profound understanding of the city that is both historic and intimate, while getting a taste of this unique and exhilarating activity. Check lesson availability now.

Whether you row Venice as a leisure activity, part of a rowing event, or sporting regattas—you’ll come to understand how the voga is an integral part of Venetian heritage. That’s why we say…

There is nothing more Venetian than the Voga.
