Question 1

What is the "Taxi Overcharging from Punta Sabbioni Ferry" scam in Jesolo?

Accepted Answer

Tourists arriving by ferry from Venice to Punta Sabbioni and taking taxis to Jesolo resort hotels are quoted flat rates above the metered fare. The ferry landing is a captive audience point and unofficial vehicles sometimes position near the dock. Use official metered taxis from the Punta Sabbioni ferry terminal. The fare to central Jesolo should be under 20 EUR by meter. Alternatively, use the ATVO bus service which connects Punta Sabbioni to Jesolo at a fraction of the taxi fare.

Question 2

What is the "Water Taxi Overcharging to Venice" scam in Jesolo?

Accepted Answer

Private water taxi operators between Jesolo (via Punta Sabbioni) and Venice sometimes quote prices to foreign tourists above the official regulated fare. The regulated round trip ferry is operated by ACTV and is significantly cheaper than private water taxis, but tourists unaware of the ferry option pay private rates for the same route. Take the ACTV public ferry from Punta Sabbioni to Venice rather than a private water taxi. The ferry runs regularly and costs a fraction of private charter prices. If you want a private water taxi for convenience, confirm the regulated fare with the Consorzio Motoscafi Venezia before booking.
