Detailed Walking Directions

1. From the Flynn Cruiseport Terminal to the Water Taxi Pickup location:

2. Once you process off the ship and through the Cruise Terminal Building you will need to get back onto the water side of the terminal to get aboard the water taxi. 

3. Exit the building and turn left.  Go to the end of the building, past the parking lot and take another left back towards the channel ahead of your cruise ship.

4. You will see a fence along the edge of the channel, follow it down to the docks on the left hand side of the road.  The first gate you will see is for police boats and there should be some tied up below.  This is the water taxi dock, but the entrance for the public is at the far end of the dock.  Continue walking down the pier with the dock on your left and you will see the second ramp and the entrance to the water taxi area. The gate is located just before the street and the bridge crossing the channel. You will see signs for the Thompson Island Ferry, this is the correct location.

Please note the following details regarding this ticket:

This ticket allows the holder to board our water taxi shuttle at Flynn Cruiseport Terminal upon disembarking their cruise ship. We will shuttle passengers on a set schedule from the terminal to Rowes Wharf for their luggage storage. Passengers will make their reservation for the shuttle to Logan Airport once aboard the boat to Rowes Wharf. We will make trips to Logan Airport at the top of each hour. We recommend allowing 45 minutes for transit from Rowes Wharf to your Logan Airport Terminal Door. The water taxi ride to the airport stop is less than 15 minutes. You will be transported by shuttle bus from the water taxi stop directly to your terminal door. This shuttle bus is free and takes about 15 minutes to complete its loop. This shuttle stops at the water taxi pick up location every 15 minutes.

When purchasing this ticket you will be required to select which shuttle from the cruise ship terminal you will be boarding. We offer a range of daily pickup times, please pick the time that aligns closest to your disembarkation from the cruise ship.

Please keep in mind that this option for transportation does have some mobility limits. The docks that we board from are subject to tidal fluctuations. The ramps leading to and from the docks can have a very steep incline or decline depending on the current tide level of Boston. If you or someone in your party has difficulty walking distance or stepping up or down into boats, this may not be a good fit. The walk from the cruise ship to the water taxi dock is approximately 1/3 mile. It is flat and paved, but you will be required to haul your luggage with you to the dock.
