WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WATER TAXI AND A FERRY?
A ferry operates on a fixed schedule and follows set routes, carrying multiple passengers. A water taxi is private, runs on your time, and takes you directly to your chosen location.
ARE PETS ALLOWED ON THE WATER TAXI?
Small, well-behaved pets are allowed on board at the discretion of the skipper. Please contact us before booking to confirm.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK?
We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance, especially during weekends, holidays, or major events like VIVID Sydney.
HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL WATER TAXI RIDE TAKE?
The duration depends on your pick-up and drop-off locations, but most transfers across Sydney Harbour take between 10 to 30 minutes.
CAN I BOOK A RETURN TRIP IN ADVANCE?
Yes, you can book both one-way and return trips during the booking process.
ARE THERE ANY LUGGAGE LIMITS?
We can accommodate reasonable amounts of luggage. If you're travelling with oversized items (like bikes or surfboards), please mention it when booking.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I’M LATE FOR THE PICK-UP LOCATION?
We allow a short grace period, but extended delays may incur a waiting fee or result in a missed trip. Please contact us as soon as possible if you're running late.
ARE SMOKING OR VAPING ALLOWED ON BOARD?
For safety and comfort, smoking and vaping are not permitted on board.
