We have recently returned from sailing with friends in Croatia. We sailed over from Pula and had 3-days in Venice. We didn't sail at all within the lagoon - motored throughout. We berthed in the Sta Elena marina - busy, but clean and quiet at night. It is an easy 15 min stroll to the Vaporetto station. These are good value if you get a multi - journey ticket. Fast and frequent, they are a good way to get about. It would appear Venice has a local slant on Colregs. We found yachts under power were pretty predicable, small power boats were unpredicable but large power boats and all commercial craft were totally predictable - you gave way or suffered the consequences.
Have a great trip
