Q: Is parking easy at Bayside Marketplace?

Thinking about gifting the Water Taxi experience – any tips?

I’m considering the Water Taxi ride between Bayside Marketplace and South Beach for my friend’s birthday. It sounds amazing with the views and the commentary. Has anyone done it? How’s the experience? I’m worried about the timing since it’s noon during summer. How crowded does it get?

Just did the Water Taxi and it was awesome!

We took the Water Taxi from Bayside to South Beach last week and loved it! The captain pointed out all the celebrity homes, and the ride was super relaxing. I recommend hopping off and grabbing a bite in South Beach before heading back. Just a heads up, we took the 1 PM ride, so it was kinda busy but still manageable!
