235 Queens Quay West, on the boardwalk

The Harbourfront dock is on the boardwalk, right by the water, just west of York Street, right beside the big, black sailboat called Kajama. By TTC, eastbound and westbound, the stops are right beside the Harbourfront Terminal Building (with Farm Boy on the corner). Walk between the Terminal Building and the Power Plant until you reach the water and turn right and you’ll see us. There is underground parking. Our Harbourfront dock is about a 10 minute walk from the Ferry Terminal.

375 Queens Quay West, beside HTO Park West, between Spadina and Rees Street

This dock is between Spadina and Rees Street beside HTO Park West. By TTC, eastbound, the stop is just before Spadina, walk east, past Spadina and cross the street when you reach Shoppers Drug Mart. Westbound, the stop is just east of Spadina, walk east and cross at the Shoppers Drug Mart. You’ll see a big, red fire boat across from our docks. There is plenty of parking at Queens Quay and Rees.

Pirate Water Taxi is a great, fun alternative to taking the Toronto Island Ferry – the Ferry runs on a schedule, Pirate Taxi runs continuously so there’s no waiting, and we play great music along the way!
