What customers say
Reliable & professional
"Skipper was on time, boat was spotless, fare was exactly what the app quoted. Booked another one for the way back before we'd even landed."
Circular Quay → Watsons Bay · Sydney Harbour
Saved our wedding day
"Shuttled 80 guests from Circular Quay to Cockatoo Island in perfect timing. The whole schedule was built for us and every run left on the minute."
Cockatoo Island wedding · Sydney Harbour
Beats the ferry every time
"Missed the last ferry to Palm Beach with a car full of luggage. Booked on my phone at the wharf and we were picked up in 15 minutes."
Palm Beach ↔ The Basin · Pittwater & Hawkesbury
Corporate offsite, done right
"Three transfers back-to-back from Darling Harbour to Chowder Bay. Zero hiccups, one invoice, clients still talk about it."
Darling Harbour ↔ Chowder Bay · Sydney Harbour
Booked it in about a minute
"No phone calls, no waiting for someone to call back. Entered the two wharves, saw the price, done. Confirmation came through straight away."
Southport → Sanctuary Cove · Gold Coast
Exactly the price we were quoted
"Return trip for six of us to dinner and back. The quote showed both legs clearly and the final charge matched to the cent."
Rose Bay → Watsons Bay (return) · Sydney Harbour
Island transfer sorted from overseas
"Organised our Airlie Beach to Hamilton Island transfer from London two months out. Everything confirmed by email, nothing to chase."
Airlie Beach → Hamilton Island · Whitsundays
Dinner by boat, no parking
"Left the car at home and arrived at the restaurant by water. Table and boat lined up together — easily the best night out we've had all year."
Noosaville → Hastings Street · Noosa
Card wasn't touched until it was confirmed
"I was nervous booking online but nothing was charged until the operator accepted the job. That alone made me trust it."
Church Point → Scotland Island · Pittwater & Hawkesbury
Skipper knew every jetty
"Private jetty pickup with no address, just a pin on the map. He found it first time and had us on the water in minutes."
Hope Island canals · Gold Coast
Smoothest airport-to-hotel we've done
"Landed, jumped on the water and were at the hotel wharf before the taxi queue had moved. Never going back to the road."
Sydney → Pier One · Sydney Harbour
Group of 12, one booking
"One booking covered the lot, everyone got the boarding pass on their phone, and the QR scan on the pontoon took two seconds."
Docklands → Williamstown · Melbourne
You never have to call anyone
Water Taxis Australia is a booking engine, not a call centre. Pricing, availability, confirmation, changes and your boarding pass all live in one place — so you can book a boat at 11pm on a Saturday without speaking to a soul.
100% online booking
No calls, no hold music, no waiting for someone to ring you back. Enter your two locations and you're booked.
We don't charge your card today
Your card is only charged once a water taxi operator or skipper accepts your job — or three days before pickup.
Written confirmation, every time
Booking confirmation, boarding pass and any change lands in your inbox and on your phone in writing.
Licensed operators only
Every skipper on the network is a commercially licensed, insured operator we have onboarded and verified.
