Gondola Tours in San Diego, California

All gondolas are 35 foot six inches long, but the port side is ten inches longer than the starboard side. The design is thought to counterbalance the rowing action of the gondolier so the boat is moved in a straight line. You drift to the left when you're piloting one of these gondolas and that means, if you're in a venetian canal and you got a gondola coming at you, you want to pass it on your right. And because one side is shorter than the other, aqua dynamically, somehow that sort of course, corrects the boat, partly.
