I wonder if we could get those duck boats. Most large cities with waterfronts have them.

St. Johns current would probably be a little swift for those things.  But lots of rescues out at the jetties for entertainment

Now we're talking!  Daytona Beach has some tour boats like that.  They run from the speedway down to and across the intracoastal (Halifax River) and then right on into the Atlantic.  Really neat tour.

Yes! I saw those in Baltimore.

Hahaha, good eye!

I like the idea, I just hope the new ones get a face lift.

Perhaps free enterprise will get smart and provide a water taxi service to key tourist spots around town that face the river. ie.Cummer museum, the zoo, MOSH, etc..

Don't forget The Poker Room in Orange Park LOL.......

Duck boats would be a new and interesting way to further humiliate ourselves.

What wonderful news!  I adore water taxis.  Baltimore has such a dynamic river with water taxis shooting across the river taking commuters to and fro -- no one minds the length of the commute when you are on the water.  So water taxis don't have to be just for the tourists! 

It is also a romantic date -- water taxis to a nice restaurant.  Cuddle in the cool air on the way back. Oh Yeah.

I'm excited for our river. 

Yeah, it sounds awesome. are you waiting for me to ask you out, sheclown?

I'll meet you on the boat...find me

Are the new Timuquan Preserve water taxis similar in design to the ones downtown?  If so, what would be the travel time between the Zoo and either downtown or the Ft. George / Ft. Caroline area?  I'm thinking it would be quite a long boat ride.
The article says the Park Service boats are bigger, would they have better travel times?
