Water Taxi

Our water taxi service operates on VHF Channel 80 or telephone 01983 872828 ext 2.

Covid-19 safety measures are in place on board and passenger numbers are limited to enable social distancing.  We apologise for any inconvenience or delay this may cause.

Available to all Harbour users and visitors, our licenced water taxis are based at the Duver pontoon, with various drop off/collection points around the Harbour (Bembridge Point Beach, Bembridge Sailing Club, Fishermans, Brading Haven Yacht Club).  

From April through to the end of September the taxis operate between the hours of 0800 and 1800 (water allowing) 7 days a week (later for evening events).  Timings may vary.

Fare (single):

15 years and over - £2.50
Under 15 - £1
Infants (under 3) - free of charge

After 2000 - £3.00 per person 

Note: it has been necessary (after many years) to increase the price of an adult fare due to current fuel costs 

Lifejackets are carried on board and are available on request.  Maximum number of passengers (including infants): 9

Taxis can be made available at other times by prior arrangement.

From October through to March a restricted service may be offered - please check in advance with the Berthing Office for timing and availability.
