COVE BOAT TAXI'S BOAT
My boat is this Hewescraft Searunner 220
LOCATION FOR PICKUPS
Listed taxis and tours are available as quoted from Deep Cove. If you have a specific pickup location text or call me with your trip plan so I can put together a specific quote or estimate for you.
OTHER BOAT PASSENGERS
If you have booked a trip for yourself and or your own group it will just be you and those you booked for on the boat.
NO OPEN ALCOHOL POLICY
Open alcohol is not permitted on the boat for insurance and safety reasons.
CANCELATION POLICY
A $40 cancellation fee applies with reasonable notice.
HOW TO BOOK A TRIP
Text or call me about the taxi or tour you want to take or tell me about your plan for a custom trip. After this I can schedule your booking with you.
HRS & BEST TIMES FOR TRIPS
I am usually flexible with my operating hours, although I prefer to avoid trips after dusk when possible. Early morning trips are welcomed. I'd recommend that the morning or mid-morning is the ideal time to be out on the water. During these hours, you'll typically encounter the least amount of boat traffic and experience smoother, calmer waters.
TRAVELING IN THE DARK
Trips after dusk or before first light incur double the cost compared to daytime trips.
ACCEPTED PAYMENTS
My preference for payments is through e-transfer but accept most card payments through Square. Receipts are available and can be emailed on request.
RATES FOR CUSTOM TRIPS
I have a minimum charge of $181 plus tax. Trip rates are determined by the total time and distance, which includes the travel time to the pickup location from base, the tour or trip, and the return travel time back to base. For trips after dusk or before first light, the cost is doubled.
THE COST PER PASSENGER
The prices listed are flat rates for the entire boat, regardless of the number of passengers.
MAXIMUM 6 PASSENGERS
There is a maximum of 6 passengers on the boat or 7 persons including myself. If your group exceeds six persons, I can accommodate larger groups by scheduling separate boat trips at different times, upon request.
SET SCHEDULES FOR TRIPS
Cove Boat Taxi consists of just me as the captain and one boat. I don't have employees or set scheduled trips; all trips are chartered upon request.
SHORT DAY TRIPS
Please call or text me with your trip plan and the standby duration if needed, and I will provide you with a tailored quote or estimate.
TRANSPORT FOR BIKE TRIPS
I can accommodate up to 6 passengers and 6 bikes. Feel free to contact me with your specific trip plan to receive a customized quote or estimate.
TAKING PETS ON THE BOAT
