When you arrive at the airport you have the option of taking a bus, water taxi or an "Alilaguna" boat to Venice. (Alilaguna is the name of the operator.) Especially if you have never been to Venice before, this is a magical way catch your first glimpse of it, unless you are happy and able to pay around £50 for a water taxi. The boat goes round the islands, finally stopping at the Arsenale and San Marco.
Updates
You can also catch an Alilaguna boat to Fondamenta Nove, which is quicker (and cheaper) than catching it to St Marks. You can find details of the timetable on www.alilaguna.com
