The ''s’ciopon'' (also known as the ''sandolo s’ciopo'', literally meaning “long gun”) gets its name from its function. This boat was designed for hunting the birds in season with a spingarda (large gun) and for fishing with a harpoon. The ''s’ciopon'' is one of the few traditional Venetian boats that can be rowed sitting down. The gun was about three meters long and the length of the hull ranged from five to eight meters. The hull was designed so that the s’cioponante, or hunter, could shoot the gun level with the water.

It is the smallest lagoon sandolo and is no longer used today for hunting. Today, this is a popular boat among young Venetian boys for short distance transportation around the canals. The boat rides very low in the water.
