Best. Is that cheapest or fastest.
You can walk in a little over an hour.
You can take the Vaporetto (water bus) in about 40 minutes including its stops. This is usual mode and takes luggage, etc. It's pretty inexpensive.
You can take water taxi. Fast and expensive. Probably at least 50 Euros or more.

Mestre is on the mainland, not on the island of Venice. It has its own train station, and is the first stop out of Venice about 3-5 minutes. I am not aware of any Vaporetto service to Mestre, only expensive, private water taxi. Anyway, Mestre is not what you want from San marco. You want the Santa Lucia Train Station with the Ferrovia Vaporetto stop directly in front of it.

Follow up:
If you are taking the Vaporetto from San Marco prior to 11 AM it should not be too crowded as most of the morning traffic is heading to San Marco. During busy times, there may be standing room only with most of the seats already taken. The Vaporetto with summer crowds, the heat plus luggage can be a challenge. I was in Florence in mid May and inquired with the Florence train station for luggage storage while waiting for the Eurostar to Venice. The price was 2 1/2 Euros PER BAG for the first 12 hours of storage. The Venice station may have a similar pricing for storing luggage if you want to walk the Venice station area prior to your train departure.
