In Venetian they translated it as "My boat is full of eels". We don't have a word for hovercraft. "Barchin" is actually a small personal boat.

Also, happy to see they have a Venetian version :)

I would've guessed if there's a place that desperately needs hovercrafts it's Venice...

I suspect hovercraft are too noisy for Venice. There isn’t much to muffle the noise, either.

They also spray a lot.
