Water Taxi

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

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 (next to the Harbour View Cafe and Bembridge Sailing Club), Fishermans pontoon, Bembridge Marina and 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 - £3.00
3 to 15 years - £1
Under 3 years - free of charge
After 2000 - £3.50 per person 

Due to the continuing escalation in fuel costs, the Water Taxi service will now run every 20 minutes, subject to demand - on the hour, 20 past and 20 to.      

Note: the fare price rise has been necessary (after many years) due to this increase in 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.
