Pink Water Taxis

Welcome to Pink Water Taxis, a premier establishment and point of interest located at Church Point, Pittwater Road in Australia. Our institution offers convenient and reliable transportation services via water taxis to various destinations in the area.

Please note that if our mobile is not answered, we kindly request you to wait five minutes before trying again, as our drivers may be berthing the vessel or assisting passengers. In case of any technical issues with our voice system, we have text messages as a fallback communication method. However, during busy periods, texts may not be processed immediately due to driver availability.

Our last calls and pickups from Church Point occur at 8:45pm, so please plan your travel accordingly. Our drivers are required to take meal and refreshment breaks, but they will return missed calls whenever possible.

For your convenience, we offer cartage services at affordable rates. Carry-on bags and smaller items are charged at $1 each, while larger items such as suitcases, eskies, and toolboxes are charged at $5 each.

Excess baggage may impact the number of passengers we can accommodate on our vessels. Therefore, we cannot fulfill requests for additional trips solely for moving excess baggage. However, we can provide recommendations for appropriate punt or barge services to assist with cargo transportation. If our driver agrees to transport cargo or excess baggage, charter rates will apply, and we will provide an estimate at the time of loading.

To promote cost-sharing, we offer fare splits for passengers with the same pickup and destination. However, for taxis carrying multiple fares to different locations, each party will be charged for their respective destinations.

Please note that we primarily accept cash payments, and exact fare is required as we do not provide change.

It's important to highlight that Pink Water Taxis is not a tender service, and our boats are not fendered to protect other vessels. Therefore, masters engage our services at their own risk.

If you are planning to visit Scotland Island, please be aware that it is entirely residential, with no shops or public toilets available. However, the Community Vehicle can drive down the edge of the Cargo Wharf, which may be advantageous for passengers with heavy bags or mobility issues. Access to major wharves on the island is generally affected only by strong winds and sea state. However, certain waterfront properties with private wharves may have limited access due to tides.

The Bays, situated on the western foreshores of Pittwater, offer picturesque views of the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. These areas are accessible only by water transportation, and public wharves are available at South Elvina, North Elvina, Lovett Bay, Woody Point (Halls), Morning Bay, and Towlers Bay.

If you are planning to visit the Pittwater YHA, the normal access route is via Halls Wharf, followed by a scenic 10-minute walk along a bush track. Alternatively, you can reach the YHA from Morning Bay Wharf, which is a shorter walk but features a steeper track.

The Douglass Estate, located on the western foreshores of McCarr's Creek, offers waterfront properties that back onto the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. These properties are accessible only by private boat or water taxi, as there are no public wharves available. Please note the presence of the Calabash Estate, a small parcel within the Douglass Estate.

The offshore communities in the area are supported by various public wharves and marinas, which house restaurants and social venues for residents and visitors alike. Some popular establishments near Church Point include Waterfront Cafe & General Store, Pasadena Sydney, and the Marina Cafe. In Newport, you can find the Royal Motor Yacht Club, Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club, and The Newport pub.

For those traveling to Palm Beach, the Palm Beach Ferry Wharf serves as a transport hub for northern Pittwater and provides connections across Broken Bay to the Central Coast. The Palm Beach Water Taxi and Palm Beach Ferry Service operate in this area, offering convenient transportation options. In the event that local services at Palm Beach are not operational, we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Our office is located approximately 160m north of the Church Point Ferry Wharf, right in the heart of Sydney's beautiful Pittwater. While Church Point is an ideal boarding location, we are more than willing to pick up passengers from any safe and accessible location. Just give us a call, and we'll be there to assist you.

Please note that bad weather conditions can significantly affect transportation services for the offshore communities. Storms may lead to service suspensions or complete shutdowns. Additionally, wind and sea state can make travel to certain destinations unsafe, and our vessel Masters may choose to wait until the weather passes before continuing services.

At Pink Water Taxis, we prioritize your safety, comfort, and convenience. Whether you're exploring the stunning Pittwater or visiting the charming communities in the area, our reliable water taxis are here to provide you with a seamless and enjoyable transportation experience.
