The water taxi picks you up on the dock by the gazebo where you can unload your belongings and load them on the taxi.

The local water taxi service is provided by Pirate Water Taxi (941) 697-5777, with either Emmett or Bill as your captain. You will need to call well before your arrival date to make arrangements for your arrival and departure.

The taxi is available every day 8:30-5:00 hours and always requires a reservation but will run later or earlier by request for an additional charge. It is best to contact them about two weeks in advance, especially if you need to travel very early, after dark, or on a holiday. The average cost for the water taxi is $30/for 2 people and then $15 per person after that (subject to change) each way but be sure to verify this as prices sometimes change depending on the time of day you need to cross.
