Using
a
Watertaxi
is
a pleasant and
inexpensive way, to visit the Island and Cayes. The two Belize
Water Taxi Terminals are located close to the Swing Bridge in
downtown Belize City is the most convenient location to catch a water
taxi heading to the two popular tourist spots of San Pedro and Caye
Caulker.

Ther
are
also
Water
Taxis in
Punta Corda, Placencia, Dangriga and Corozal. Water Taxis are
also connecting Belize with Honduras and Guatamala. If
the sea is choppy, then the ride in the open water can be a
bumpy.

There

Since
Caye Caulker water taxi, was overtaken from the owner of San Pedro
Express the price went up and the service is very poor. Many San
Pedranos and Tourists are frustrated. The water taxi don't keep there
timetable’s because boots share running slow to save gas. Instead of 1h
15' a trip to Belize can also take 2h 30' and this with nearly a double
price.

Chetumal
in Mexico to San
Pedro
|
Since winter 2009 San Pedro in Belize,
has a fast
water taxi connection to Chetumal in Mexico and a other line is in
planning.
|
San Pedro Belize Express offers weekend
runs from Chetumal in Mexico to San Pedro and vice versa. The water
taxi will depart from the “Muelle Fiscal” the Customs Dock in
Chetumal and from the Amigos del Mar dock in San Pedro.
|
|
|
The only disadvantage the
bureaucracy, when we left San Pedro the Immigration officer was 30
minutes late, and when we left Chetumal, we had to wait another half an
hour for the Belize Customs Patrol in the Lagoon near Corozal. |

The
owner is very unfair on the Belize run he rip-off the customers and has
a lousy service and here he try to compete against the famous Jet
Express, but his Boat here is also never on time. Then the ride in this
Boat on the open water against the wind can be a bumpy. |
