Fall River’s water taxi returns in 2025; here is how much it costs and what you can expect

Fall River’s water taxi is back for 2025!

Fall River’s water taxi service, launched in 2024 by Borden Light Marina in collaboration with the city and its Office of Community Development, offers a scenic way to explore the Taunton River waterfront.

The service began as a pilot program funded by leftover American Rescue Plan Act funds, aiming to boost tourism and support local businesses.

The taxi operates through Labor Day, running Thursday to Sunday from noon to 7:00 p.m., with stops at popular locations: The Tipsy Seagull (on the hour), Bicentennial Park (15 minutes past the hour), Senator Thomas Norton City Pier (on the half hour), and Pier 52 (45 minutes past the hour).

While you stop at Bicentennial Park you can hop off to Barrett’s Waterfront and grab a cocktail, try their tasty array of food options while enjoying the view and listening to live music.

Tickets cost $3 per person and can be purchased onboard with cash or credit, with no round-trip option—riders hop on and off as desired.
