(Please note, that scheduling your departure time and departure dock does NOT purchase a ticket – to purchase tickets, see 1) above)
If you would like Pirate Taxi to bring you back to the city after the race, there’s no need to schedule a time – just come to any water taxi dock at the Toronto Islands – Ward’s, Center or Hanlan’s Point – whenever you’re ready, and come on board. We’ll take your payment on our dock on the city side (or you can buy your ticket(s) online, see 1) above).
Pirate Taxi has 2 docks, with ample parking nearby and close to TTC:
235 Queens Quay West, on the boardwalk
375 Queens Quay West, beside HTO Park West, between Spadina and Rees Street
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!
Bikes, (small) wagons, strollers and dogs are all welcome, at no charge. Children 2 years old and younger ride free.
Thanks for taking the Pirate Taxi, we appreciate your business and good luck in the races!
