About Us
Our Company
Founder and Owner Matthew "Marcello" Haynes has been a gondolier since the tender age of nineteen, when he began rowing as a summer job while in college. Since then, gondolas and the Venetian culture have become his passions.
Marcello has been "Il Boss" and principal gondolier for La Gondola Providence in Providence, Rhode Island, since 2007; now, he brings his expertise and vision to the waterways of Naples.
Our Gondoliers
Our gondoliers have spent years honing their skills in Providence, Rhode Island, and will be devoting their time to serving our customers in Naples this season.
We look forward to seeing you on the water!

Cancellations
We understand that circumstances can't always be predicted. If you need to change or cancel your reservation, please call us as soon as possible at 239.398.0788 to reschedule. Please note that all online reservations are non-refundable unless La Gondola cancels due to either strong wind or rain at the time of your departure. Cancellations made within seven days of a reservation's date may be subject to a cancellation fee of up to $99 if La Gondola cannot fill the time slot with another reserving party. Parties who do not show up for their reservation or who cancel on the day of their scheduled trip may be assessed a cancellation fee of $99, the cost of our standard (Sogni) trip for two passengers, or the cost of their own particular trip package, if a special package has been scheduled. If additional perishable items have been purchased for a same-day cancellation or no-show, patrons may be responsible for those added charges as well.
