Our business is a reflection of our love of Venetian culture and rowing. We want to share with our guests our passion for Venice and history, but also to keep alive the friendships we’ve made in Venice through our work here in America. Our business would not be possible if it weren’t for the people we’d like to honor on this page, and we graciously thank them.
