Barra de Navidad Water Taxis
19° 11.9′ N · 104° 40.9′ W · approximate
A fleet of water taxis shuttles between the town of Barra, the marina, the Grand Isla Navidad resort and the lagoon's palapa restaurants, and will pick up from boats on call — the easy way to avoid a long dinghy ride.
Practical
Position approximate: the town's lagoon-side landings near the Sands hotel (OpenStreetMap). Call on VHF (VHF 23 in 2008; cruisers in 2025 called by dock number, e.g. 'Muelle C22 por favor'). Fares: 20 pesos round trip (2008), 30 pesos (2019), 50 pesos round trip (2025) — verify locally. Crossing from the marina to town takes about three minutes. The water taxi desk can arrange garrafón water delivery to boats.
