Water Taxi

Wavehunters, the well-known Surfing club in Newquay, invites all passionate surfers and enthusiasts to join them for an exciting local Surfing event. Get ready to ride the waves and experience the thrill of surfing in the beautiful waters of Newquay!

But wait, before you dive in, let's talk about a convenient mode of transportation that can come in handy during the event. Say hello to the Water Taxi, a reliable and efficient service operating between Padstow and Rock across the Camel Estuary.

The Water Taxi offers a perfect solution for crossing or returning home after a fun-filled day of surfing or a night out during the spring and summer season. From 6:00 PM onwards, this fantastic taxi service replaces the daytime Harbour Ferry, ensuring you have a smooth and hassle-free journey.

What sets the Water Taxi apart is its impressive features. Picture a 10-meter jet-powered catamaran, all set to accommodate up to 12 passengers. With both outside seating and a cosy heated inside cabin, it guarantees a comfortable experience regardless of the weather conditions. So whether the sun is shining or the rain is pouring, you can relax and enjoy your ride.

One of the best things about the Water Taxi is that you don't need to book in advance. Simply show up and hop aboard. And if you're worried about missing the departure, fear not! The water taxi's location can be tracked, allowing you to keep an eye on it and ensure you never miss it again.

If you're planning to return after 10 PM, we recommend reaching out to the skipper to confirm availability. It's always good to have a backup plan, and this way, you can make sure you have a way back to land whenever you're ready.

The duration of the crossing is approximately 15 minutes, giving you just enough time to catch your breath and reminisce about your amazing surfing adventures. You can conveniently board the Water Taxi at the slipway near Rock Beach Car Park or Padstow South Slip at High Tide.

So, dear surfers and adventure seekers, mark your calendars and get ready to catch some waves with Wavehunters. And remember, the Water Taxi is here to provide you with a hassle-free transportation experience, allowing you to make the most of your time in Newquay. See you at the event!
