A local water taxi service with a personal touch

White Water Taxi is a family-owned Sydney Harbour water taxi company helping locals and visitors reach the places that make our harbour special.

Whether you're meeting friends for lunch at a waterfront restaurant, heading to a harbour island, arranging transport to an event or simply exploring the sights, our team can help you plan a smooth journey between Sydney Harbour wharves, pontoons, marinas and suitable private jetties.

Our Aqua Limo vessel combines practical harbour transport with comfortable seating and flexible boarding arrangements. We invested in railing upgrades in 2023 to improve comfort and ease of boarding, because attention to the little details matters on every trip.
