MAP Destinations, one of Europe’s leading vacation ownership marketing companies has embarked on its first development project which it is preparing to launch in the coming weeks. Venice on Water, which has been described as “one of the most unusual timeshare properties yet” by RCI, is about to set sail in Venice - Italy’s most celebrated province.
The project is based around a small fleet of custom-built luxury houseboats that will be moored in a strategic and central location within very close proximity of the iconic city of Venice. Apart from offering an innovative and easy way of cruising on the most famous lagoon in Europe, these houseboats also enable members to enjoy a luxurious boating lifestyle without needing to find the capital, maintenance and management costs to support full-time boat ownership. The first of 10 vessels which has been purpose-built in Malta shall be unveiled in June 2009, according to MAP Destinations Managing Director Mary Anne Pulé. For her, Venice on Water represents a long-held ambition to do her own thing and she was spurred on by what she sees as the lack of new timeshare developments in Europe.
This first houseboat shall be moored at the marina Darsena DEC which is only 5km away from the Venice city centre and offers guests various services and facilities including water and electricity supply and protection from winds and tides. The houseboats, measuring ten by three and a half metres, can accommodate up to six guests and are easy to manoeuvre and handle with no licence or experience required. Anyone wanting to jump aboard can hire their own skipper for an extra fee or can opt to learn the ropes in a couple of hours.
According to Mary Anne Pulé - “if a member can clearly pilot the boat and establish themselves as a good skipper, there is no reason why they can’t go further afield to explore the rivers of Italy. But for those wanting to stay in Venice, there’s lots to do. There’s the Lido and plenty of islands. We’re also planning to provide 25 itineraries to make it easier for members to plan their routes”.
