Hydra Sea Taxis

Sea taxis, also known as water taxis, are small motor boats that moor in the east corner of the harbour where the flying dolphins, cats and passenger ferries arrive. You can hire them to get around to different parts of Hydra's coast or to go across to the mainland and neighbouring islands. There is a free phone to call one if there aren’t any waiting. If you have a favourite driver, you can contact them directly.

Prices (Updated 26 April 2023)

All sea taxis work on a fixed tariff, which is the same for all boats. The tariff should be displayed inside the boat. The price quoted is per journey for the maximum number of passengers which in the main is 8 people and their luggage. If you share the ride with another person or group, then the price should be divided by the number of people making the journey. The total price should not be paid by both parties just because they don't know each other!

Complaints

Sea Taxis are licensed and governed by the Port Police Authorities of Hydra (Greek Coastguard). There is no 'office' or 'manager' of sea taxis in the port. If you have a complaint about a sea taxi or its driver, you should visit the Port Police and make a statement. This can include anything from dangerous driving, overcharging, not giving a receipt, etc.
