Water Taxi Express

Super friendly, timely and overall fun experience. No drive Sunday, biked to get the taxi, then biked home at the end of the day. This is a fun and inexpensive day excursion!

Super cool water taxi service In new Smyrna. Staff on the boat was on time, very friendly, and super accommodating to my grandmother who joined us.
It was a rare family get together, and water taxi express was awesome

My family and I wanted originally to go for the manatee tour. There was a misunderstanding with their schedule & they recommended we should try the water taxi service. Boy are we glad we did! we paid $ 15 to use their taxi all day. What a steal! There boat is a nice open boat with 2 young guys running the operations. The captain and the guide. Their service was excellent! They give you a detailed schedule of the time and locations for their stops. They also know a lot about the area and gave us our own tour, and answered all of our questions. I don’t know how they do it, but they were always on time. They also are very intuned with their hospitality, all of us really felt like we were their guests. Over all we had a great tourist experience! We enjoyed the sight seeing, learned a lot, and had fun!

We needed to kill some time and this service was recommended. You can get an all day round trip ticket for $ 15.00. The RT ride for us was an unhurried, scenic 2 hours on the inlet. (It’s okay to bring your small cooler, by the way)
The pontoon Taxi has an overhead cover with open sides, so the 75o weather was near dreamy. Seats are comfortable– enough.
Capt’n Bob stopped for a couple minutes en route so we could take in the dolphins feeding near the Coast Guard docks.
One stop was «over boated» due to an ongoing fishing tournament. (no availiable docking spaces) so those passengers were dropped at the next stop and shuttled by golf cart to their originally intended stop. The friendly folks will also assist you in finding a space for your car and then golf cart you to the dock.
This was a good way to get out of the sun and yet take in some seaside sights.

When does this water taxi actually run? Doesn’t run on week days and who knows when it runs on weekends. Stood and waited along with 8 other people at waterfront park on Saturday and it never showed up. Called the number posted on the sign and no answer. What a joke. It’s a shame… this could have been something good for the community.

Loved our trip on water taxi express. Turned out we were the first paying passengers on its grand reopening. What a special day we had. Great views from the water. We saw pelicans, dolphins and other wonderful creatures up close. Friendly crew helpfully suggested restaurant options at Ponce Inlet. We started our trip at The Brannon Center and ended up at the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. Our boys thought the boat was great fun and we enjoyed it as well. Terrific day!!!
