Fully functional at 36-feet long and beautifully painted in its original color black with white stripe. We also have a 24-feet long gondola available, upon request. This boat was completely handcrafted and takes about 600-800 hours to build. We still use the traditional method of constructions while integrating the highest quality of materials currently available. Strips of red cedars are joined together by hand and then encapsulated in fiberglass bonded in place with epoxy resin then coated with marine vanish. This combination of fiberglass and epoxy is very strong and the wood will be protected for generations.

This boat represents a typical Venetian Gondola circa 1882. The gondola is a traditional, flat-bottomed Venetian rowing boat, well suited to the conditions of the Venetian lagoon. For centuries gondolas were the chief means of transportation and most common watercraft within Venice. In modern times the iconic boats still have a role in public transport in the city, serving as traghetti (ferries) over the Grand Canal. They are also used in special regattas (rowing races) held amongst gondoliers. The gondola is propelled like punting, except an oar is used instead of a pole. The model now is rebuilt without the roof in the middle of the boat and used to carry tourists along the Venice River in Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSku: \u003c\/b\u003eOMH_K151\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCategory: \u003c\/b\u003eDécor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eManufacturer: \u003c\/b\u003eOld Modern Handicrafts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShip Via: \u003c\/b\u003eFreight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eItem Dimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e433L x 54W x 65.35H Inches, Weight: 882 Lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCarton Dimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e457L x 78W x 87H Inches, Weight: 999 Lbs\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Home \u0026 Decor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64104660468081,"sku":"OMH_K151","price":45267.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/erratic-behavior.com\/products\/venetian-gondola-real-boat-36","provider":"Erratic  Behavior ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
