Hobart Yellow Water Cab

Hobart Yellow Water Cab operates a taxi and tour service on the Derwent River in Hobart. We are a small family business catering for small groups of up to12. We can give you a personalised tour with commentary, there is no set time table and you can choose when to leave. We can go where no ferry can to enable you to get a closer look at places of interest.
Our vessel Cassie H is capable of high speeds for those thrill seekers, and we are fully enclosed. On all our cruise tours you have the chance of seeing dolphins, seals, penguins, sea eagles, shearwaters, cormorants, gannets and maybe a whale if you are lucky. We stop at major points of interest for photo shots so don’t forget your camera!
Alternately you can map out your own tour to a specific area anywhere on the Derwent River as we are flexible. We also offer a water taxi service around the Hobart area. It’s not just a taxi ride it’s a river cruise.
We are the quickest and easiest way to cross from the Eastern Shore to the Western Shore in Hobart with no traffic jams or parking hassles.
