water taxis
Boats for hire
Water taxis are small boats that ferry passengers across harbors, rivers, or between points along a waterfront—essentially taxis that operate on water rather than roads.
They typically run on-demand or on flexible schedules, distinguishing them from larger ferries with fixed routes: We took a water taxi from the hotel to downtown.
Common in cities with significant waterways like Venice, Amsterdam, or Miami.
