Water Taxi in Fort Lauderdale

[1shipshape]

We'll be in Ft. Lauderdale in November and I've looked up using the "Water Taxi" which goes to many hotels and various places in Ft. Lauderdale. I forgot to look up the cost. Has anyone used this before? Is it pretty reliable and a safe mode of transportation at night? If we go to a restaurant away from our hotel, I'd like to use this water taxi. If not, I guess a city bus would do. We've taken the water taxi up in Vancouver and their various rail systems and they are great.

I also have a water taxi question: Which route is the best/prettiest/most interesting to take? We will also be using the water taxi for the first time in October with our South African cruise companions.

 JACKIE:  It depends whether you would prefer to see mostly water and shoreline or restaurants/bars.....I vote for "Inbound".  Either way, it's a lot of fun.

Thanks Ellie - looking forward to it ... we'll try the inbound!
