For Mothers' Day I decided to take my mom on the Water Taxi. We drove all the way to their FT. Lauderdale location all the way from Miami. Once we arrived, we parked in a lot on their property assuming that this would be the appropriate place for parking since every other spot in the area was marked "Towaway". To... More

I am so disappointed to hear about your experience at our office, and I sincerely apologize for the confusion. The property that you refer to is our corporate office and vessel maintenance facility. It is not a place where the boats stop, or where guests may board. To clarify, we have 12 stop locations in Fort Lauderdale, and 4 in... More

This was my first tour and I'm a local. We loved it and found it to be a real value. The guides are informative, sometimes funny and really have one of the best day jobs touring the canals of Ft Laud. Now if you're in town from Oct to April...ask for the boats with the bar and bathroom. These boats... More

We tried the water taxis on a Saturday in May to see the "Venice" of Florida. I overheard from a passenger they shut the taxis down for a while for some reason and re-opened this past year. The guides were interesting and some of them were pretty funny. However, you have to wait 45 minutes between most boats. Plus the... More

I live here, so I use this service often. I board it at Shooters and take it up to RIverfront. Sometimes I get off at a few places and have drinks or dinner, and sometimes I just go for the round trip ride. You are allowed to bring on a bottle of wine and snacks. I like starting late afternoon,... More

The water taxi system has many boats moving all around the area. We got a lot of information on houses and mega yachts while we rode from one destination to another. One cheap price - ride all day if you like. We got off at a restaurant and at a shopping mall. Don't worry about the time another boat comes... More

We were in Fort Lauder dale during Mach break and the day before we took the cruise, we decided to give Water Taxi a try. What a nice experience! The drivers were very nice and there are so many million dollar houses and cool yachts along the ride to see. During one stop(stop 6 or 7), we took off and... More

If you want to see some cool yachts and some outrageous homes take the water taxi and enjoy the boat ride. Some of the yachts are amazing and the homes are beautiful. You stop at some nice restaurants so get the all dy pass. You might even see Johnny Depp on his yacht. Unfortunately the seats are not the greatest.... More
