Why does this cost so much more than the Piazzale Roma transfer?

Because it is two journeys. The road leg ends where Venice begins; the rest is a boat with its own driver through the lagoon and canals. The Piazzale Roma fare covers only the road part.

Will the boat stop right outside our hotel?

At the nearest canal-side landing your address allows. Many Venice hotels have their own water door; others are a short walk and sometimes one bridge away. Give the hotel name at booking so the closest landing is chosen.

Venice Marco Polo Airport to Venice San Marco inc. Water Taxi transfer

Private, fixed-price transfer between Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) and Venice San Marco inc. Water Taxi. Your driver tracks your flight, waits if it is delayed and meets you in the arrivals hall — the price below is final, taxes and fees included. The same price applies in both directions.

A private transfer from Venice Marco Polo Airport to San Marco including the water taxi is the door-to-door version of arriving in Venice. Because the historic city has no roads, reaching San Marco means two legs: the road across the causeway, then a boat through the lagoon and the canals. This destination covers both, so you are met at arrivals and set down at the nearest canal-side landing to your address rather than left at Piazzale Roma with your luggage. It costs considerably more than the road-only transfer for exactly that reason — the boat is a separate vehicle with its own driver. Give the hotel name at booking: in Venice the landing point is chosen from the address, and the last few metres may still cross a bridge.
