Belize Water Taxi Fee Rises to $3 in 2025

The Belize Port Authority (BPA) raised the water taxi passenger fee by $3.00 for fares between $10.00 and $100.00. This became effective on January 1, 2025. 

This adjustment follows the Water Taxi (Amendment) Regulations, SI No. 129 of 2022. The BPA said due to the economic impact of COVID-19, the BPA had temporarily reduced the fee to $2.00 to assist both operators and passengers.

“With the recovery of the economy, the BPA will now revert to the full fee, which will be applied to tickets purchased on or after 1 January 2025,” the BPA said in its announcement statement.

It added that the fee increase “This adjustment is necessary to ensure the continued safety, security, and maintenance of maritime services.”
