We understand that delays happen beyond your control when leaving the ship.

We endeavor to make this as easy and stress free as possible, so you can continue in vacation mode as long as possible!
Please keep in mind that this option for transportation does have some mobility limits. The docks that we board from are subject to tidal fluctuations. The ramps leading to and from the docks can have a very steep incline or decline depending on the current tide level of Boston. If you or someone in your party has difficulty walking distance or stepping up or down into boats, this may not be a good fit. The walk from the cruise ship to the water taxi dock is approximately 1/3 mile. It is flat and paved, but you will be required to haul your luggage with you to the dock. If you have specific concerns, please email Info@BostonWaterTaxi.com for more information.
Ensure your preferred departure time by reserving your water taxi tickets before arrival, especially during peak cruise seasons.
Allow extra time to check in and board as port security can be time-consuming during busy days.
While your luggage is stored securely, traveling lighter will make navigating terminals and transfers more comfortable.
