When I visited Venice, we had some whitewater kayaks with us in the car. We thought it would be a really memorable and unique experience to kayak around the canals of Venice.
Then we got there (in late summer) and took one look at the water and said “nope, I’m not dipping my toe in that toxic mess.”
It would have been a terrible idea anyways, and illegal for a reason. Those canals are proper roads, they are narrow and have actual traffic like DHL/UPS boats, taxis, cranes, people commuting, police, ambulances, etc. No, the ambulance is not a quirky thing, regular ones and helicopters are not really an option.

… and I do not regret that decision.
