Water taxi to Maho beach?

[Sunshine-lady]

Sorry, got my answer

[btorlv]

Would like to see the answer. How much is the rate for 2 persons round trip?

The answer is that the Water Taxi doesn't run to Maho Beach.

 

It operates only between the Cruise Facility and stops in downtown Philipsburg.

 

The fare is $7 for an all day pass or $5 for a one-way 6 minute ride. It really makes a nice photo-op.

My understanding is you can walk from port to Philipsburg. Is that true?

It's only about a 1/2 mile.

From the main gate at the Cruise Facility to the Head of Frontstreet is about 1,000 yards, or .6 miles.

 

To the Courthouse, in the center of Frontstreet shopping, is another 500 yards.

 

The Water Taxi from the Cruise Facility to downtown is $7 all day or $5 one way for the 6 minute ride, but it's a great photo op.

Edit to add: Here's a video of the Water Taxi ride back to the ship.
