water taxi
Hailed harbor transport
A water taxi is a small boat that transports passengers across a harbor, river, or waterway, functioning like a taxi on water.
Water taxis typically run on demand or short scheduled routes, ferrying people between points that would take longer to reach by land: We took a water taxi from the airport to the hotel.
