ABOUT NASHVILLE WATER TAXI

At Nashville Water Taxi, our mission is to provide safe, convenient, and enjoyable water transportation for Nashville’s residents and visitors. We are dedicated to enhancing your Cumberland River experience with family-friendly, scenic, and live-narrated tours, while promoting sustainable and eco-friendly travel options.

Our core purpose is to offer a unique and memorable transportation solution that not only makes your travel easier but also enriches your journey along the river. As the longest-tenured operators of commercial passenger vessels on the Nashville riverfront, we’ve seen how the Cumberland River has shaped our city’s growth and success.

With ongoing development focused on the river, we’re committed to building out Nashville’s first water taxi network. We hope you’ll follow our progress and support our mission to connect and enrich Nashville’s riverfront experience.
