Purpose-Built Water Taxi Boats for Commercial Passenger Routes
Feil's Southwest Boats represents SolidCraft as our exclusive water taxi manufacturer — purpose-built passenger vessels engineered for scheduled routes, resort transfers, marina-to-marina service, and private charter transportation across the Western US.
Water Taxi Vessels Designed Around Your Route and Your Passengers
A commercial water taxi is more than a boat with seats — it is a working asset that must perform reliably across dozens of trips per day, in varying conditions, with rotating passenger loads and tight schedule windows. The vessel needs to board and offboard guests quickly, hold its route under power, and be ready for the next run the moment it docks.
SolidCraft water taxi platforms are engineered specifically for this kind of operation. Wide-beam stability, purpose-built boarding zones, ADA-accessible layout options, and crew-friendly deck configurations are standard design priorities — not afterthoughts. The result is a vessel that makes your operation look professional, perform reliably, and earn return on investment across full seasons.
Every minute your water taxi is at the dock longer than necessary is revenue your operation is not generating. SolidCraft builds to minimize that time.
Water Taxi Operations Across the Western US
SolidCraft water taxi platforms support a wide range of commercial passenger transport programs on lakes, rivers, harbors, and coastal waterways.
Scheduled Route Service
Fixed-schedule passenger routes between waterfront destinations, commercial districts, and transit hubs. Designed for on-time performance, fast turnaround, and consistent daily operation across full service calendars.
Resort and Hotel Transfers
Private or semi-private shuttle service connecting resort properties, waterfront hotels, and marina amenities. Enhances the guest experience while extending the reach of your property across the water.
Marina-to-Marina Service
Connecting multiple marina locations on the same body of water for members, renters, and guests. Simplifies logistics for boat club operators and multi-location rental programs.
Event and Venue Shuttles
High-volume passenger transport for concerts, sporting events, festivals, and waterfront venues. Wide-beam deck layouts maximize passenger capacity while maintaining safe, efficient boarding and offboarding flow.
Private Charter Transport
On-demand or scheduled private charter runs for corporate groups, wedding parties, and VIP experiences. Configurable deck layouts accommodate a range of seating arrangements and onboard service setups.
National Park and Recreation Areas
Seasonal and year-round passenger service in protected waterways and recreation areas. Stable, low-wake platforms suited to environmentally sensitive routes with varying passenger volumes throughout the season.
Every Design Decision Supports Your Operation
SolidCraft builds water taxi platforms with reinforced hull construction, wide-beam stability, and deck layouts purpose-designed for commercial passenger service. From ADA-accessible boarding options to crew-accessible mechanical systems, every detail is considered from an operational standpoint — not adapted from a leisure platform.
From Route Requirements to Ready-to-Run Vessel
Our team works with you from the earliest planning stages — assessing your route, passenger volumes, compliance requirements, and operational goals — so the vessel we configure is built to earn from day one.

We evaluate your route, waterway conditions, passenger volume targets, and regulatory requirements to identify the right SolidCraft platform and configuration.

Build and Inspect
