More sights, less traffic
Skip the car, take the water taxi
Shoreline water taxis are the fast and fun way to get to Chicago’s top attractions. Beloved by commuters and visitors alike, our water taxis aren’t tours, but they are a great way to get around town.
Our water taxi service begins in May and runs through September, with additional service throughout the spring and fall for special events. All water taxi service is weather dependent. Please note that our water taxis are not wheelchair accessible and that some of the docks are not at street level (such as Union Station), so passengers will need to be able to climb stairs.
Route Schedule & Map
Water taxis operate weather and customer traffic permitting. Our schedule is updated daily. Please call us at 312-222-9328 ext. 1 with questions.
Frequency: Every 20 – 30 Minutes
