The Gondola Blog: Artful Sky

This was the view off the tail of my gondola tonight.

The view from my office never gets old.

GONDOLAS IN AMERICA

For years I’ve said that
“Most gondola operations are the best kept secret in their town”
As president of the Gondola Society of America, one of my goals is to change that and help people find gondolas wherever they are.
Here is a list of gondola operations in North America:
The fine print -
States are listed alphabetically, California operations are listed south-to-north.
Not all of the listings below have Venice-built boats.
Some operations are seasonal and may not have boats in the water during winter.
If you know of an operation that’s not listed here, I’d like to hear about it.
If you have a complaint about something on this list, count to ten, if you’re still angry – take a gondola cruise, because you probably need to relax.
