Pirate Water Taxi

Pirate Water Taxi offers daily tours of Tampa with 14 stops near attractions, museums, restaurants & parks! Simply buy tickets at the home dock (Stop #7 – Convention Center), online or after boarding the taxi at any of the stops located throughout Downtown Tampa. Once purchased, you will receive a Pirate Water Taxi wristband which allows you to hop on and off the taxi at any stop for unlimited rides – all day! These wristbands also give you discounts with a number of venues located on the route as part of the Pirate Perks Program.

Getting around Tampa
I recommend a car since Tampa is a spread out city and not pedestrian friendly. If it's a quick trip and you don't want to deal with a car, Uber works perfectly from The Bungalow's location. There's also Ebikes and E-scooters and the Pirate Water Taxi will take you up and down Riverwalk.
