Venice - Race to the Exit

Before starting out, position the boat as shown in the first screenshot below. Stand Lara near the button and save the game. Then, if you don't reach the exit in time on the first try, you can just reload and try again.

Press the button and wait for the cut scene to finish (or tap Look to skip it). Then roll and press Forward + Action to run to the boat and hop in.

Continue pressing Forward + Action to gun the engine and take off over the wooden threshold. This is when the timer starts.

Keep holding Forward + Action for turbo speed as you cruise up the long wooden ramp. (You can lightly tap the Left/Right controls if necessary to stay on course, but if you lined up the boat correctly before takeoff, you won't need to do much.)

Crash through the glassed-in walkway at the top of the ramp and land in the canal below.

Continue straight ahead under the white bridge. Ease off the Action button as you veer left then immediately right, steering into the narrow passageway with the raised metal gates at each end (15 and 21 on the map).

Hold Action again for a speed boost once you get going straight. At the end of the narrow passageway, release Action and turn hard right.

Then press Action again to race past the underwater mines (hopefully you detonated them earlier, as described in the main walkthrough) and on to the exit.
