A fun way to see the area!

These tiny water taxis,ove quickly, are agile, and can scare those afraid of being so close to the water, but they are fun and quickly fears are dismissed once the individual(s) realize they are not going to tip over!

Neat Experience

Used this Ferry service one day for the first time ever. Was a really cool experience and prices were fair. The driver had a tip jar but as far as I'm concerned, he needs to do more than drive the boat to receive a tip....More

Get Captain Stan!

Fun way to see and get around the harbour but see if Capt'n Stan is working. In addition to being a great pilot, he will give you a history lesson. Who would have thought that the bricks used in many of the harbour front buildings...More

Nice way to sail around the harbour

Unique attraction for tourists especially on a nice day. It is a little pricy for the full tour, but it is unique and doesnt harass or endanger our already threatened orca whales.

views from the water

A great way to see the city from the water and visit a few of the must see sights. You can travel from one side of the harbour to the other and the cost is cheap.

Fun way to get around the harbour!

We loved seeing the many harbor sights by boat. The captain of our little boat was excellent but he isn't a tour guide so don't expect that. It's just a great way to get from one point on the harbor to another.....I would definitely use...More

So neat to be on the water in the busy harbour. I used it several times last summer to get from Old town to Fisherman's Wharf.

Convenient, with many landing points to suit your needs

It had started to rain lightly so we took it from the main landing at the downtown location to one about a block from our resort.
