High speed vessels

Venezia Lines high speed vessels, San Frangisk and San Pawl are air cushion catamarans which combine the most advanced characteristics of catamarans and hover crafts.

Such a combination has resulted in vessels that extend higher speed, lower fuel consumption, lower noise, less wave-making, higher manoeuvrability and higher passenger comfort and safety.

The air cushion, set up by fans, and trapped by the hulls and the skirts, lifts the craft and reduces the draught. Thus, water resistance and power consumption are significantly reduced. The ship is highly manoeuvrable, and literally turns around “on a coin”. It can even move sideways by diverting directional air from the cushion.

Venezia Lines High Speed Vessels offer a faster, safer and more reliable crossing between Venice and Croatia contributing to the main pillar of the company’s success on these ever popular routes in the Northern Adriatic.
