Miami Hop-On Water Taxi Shuttle Service

Water Taxi Miami is more than transportation — it’s a scenic, relaxing way to explore the city. Board at Bayside Marketplace (Downtown) or Miami Beach Marina (South Beach). The ride is about 30 minutes each way.
Round-trip lets you explore the other side of Biscayne Bay before returning. A bilingual captain narrates the ride, and drinks are available onboard.
