Taxi – The quickest way to get to us. Simply ask the taxi driver who picks you up at your terminal to take you to Commonwealth Pier/World Trade Center, lower level, on Seaport Blvd. You will be taken on a quick five to ten-minute ride (when traffic is good), or, a significantly slower 45 minute ride (if traffic is just terrible) through Boston’s new Ted Williams tunnel directly to our pier at Commonwealth Pier. Our ships depart from the EAST side (the right side as you face the harbor) of the pier. The cab fare is approximately $22 without gratuity.
Silver Line – An MBTA articulated bus makes the rounds of all airport terminals every 15 minutes for an eight-minute trip through a dedicated tunnel to the World Trade Center stop, one block inland from our dock. Fares are approximately $2.50 per passenger. Total time from your airport terminal curb to our dock, once aboard the bus, is approximately 14 minutes.
Water Taxi/BUS – An airport water transportation bus, clearly marked “Water Transportation”, circles all of the airport’s terminals. The water taxi service has changed for 2023. City Experiences Water Taxi is now calling themselves a “water bus” and does not operate on demand, but, instead only on a fixed schedule. Their departures from the airport are now limited and depart Logan, to our dock, only at 8:30am, 10:40am, 12:40pm, 2:40pm, and 4:40pm. Trip times across the harbor to our Seaport dock are roughly 10 minutes. Prior to boarding the water taxi/bus, it will be important for you to tell the Water Taxi operator that you’ve purchased tickets from us, at THE WORLD TRADE CENTER/Commonwealth Pier. That will ensure that you end up at the right place as there is more than one ferry company in Boston. Rates for the Water Bus are $15 per person.
