Zattere "A", Ferry station in Dorsoduro, Venice, Italy.

Zattere A is a ferry dock in Dorsoduro along the Giudecca Canal with two platforms for water buses and a separate pontoon for airport boats. This setup allows multiple boat lines to operate simultaneously and provides direct access to several neighborhoods across the city.

This location began in 1519 as a landing dock for timber deliveries used in Venetian shipbuilding and construction. Over the centuries, it transformed from a cargo point for wood into a modern transportation hub serving the city's daily mobility needs.

The name Zattere comes from the rafts (zattere) of timber that once landed here. The stop serves the Gesuati church, rebuilt from 1726 by the Dominicans, whose ceiling fresco by Tiepolo depicts the life of Saint Dominic. Nearby stands Santa Maria del Rosario, known as the Gesuati, with works by Tiepolo and Piazzetta.

Zattere A has two platforms plus a separate pontoon for airport boats, so check which landing your line uses before boarding. The stop is exposed to the Giudecca Canal, with little shelter in rain or strong wind. Actv ticket machines stand near the platforms, and the adjacent newsstand also sells tickets.

The airport boat pontoon is separate from the two vaporetto platforms, so arriving travellers board without mixing with local line passengers. The dock stands by the Gesuati church, whose cloister once belonged to the Dominican order suppressed under Napoleon.
