Actually, the problem is not the water. It's super easy to get around in Venice without ever setting foot on a boat. Yes, there are a lot of channels between the houses, but the city (which is quite small, if you stand at Rialto bridge, you can walk to almost any point in the city within less than 15 minutes) has about 400 bridges, so you almost never have to make any detours when going on foot.
What makes using a scooter *very* impractical is the cobblestones. And the steps...
