How many routes ( From Where to where ) are there in the U.S. Boat Transportation ?

How many stops , and where , are there ?
 
4 of the 5 onsite resorts (Portofino Bay, Hard Rock, Royal Pacific, and Saphire Falles) have water taxi service. Each hotel's boats simply run from the resort to the dock at City Walk. Back and forth, all day (I think service stops at 1 or 2 am). So, if you want to go from the resort to the parks or City Walk, just hop on the hotel's boat and you'll be there in a few minutes. If you want to go from the parks or City Walk to your hotel, go to the dock at City Walk and get in the line for your hotel. Finally, if you want to go from your hotel to another hotel, just take the boat to City Walk and then get in the line for the destination hotel's boat.

Boats back to hotels from CityWalk stop running at 2 am.

If it’s about 1- 1:30 am and the lines back to hotels are short they will load one boat for stops at HRH and PBH and one boat for RPR and SF. They did this last week when I was there a couple of times not problem.
 
When headed to the parks on the boat, you go through security at the boat dock at your resort. It's quick and easy.

The boats run every 15 minutes or so. Depending on the resort, the walk is anywhere from about 5 (Hard Rock) to 15 (Portofino) minutes. So, sometimes, it's much faster to walk. We do enough walking in the parks, so we just wait for the boats if at RPR or PBR.

It's a relaxing way to end your day at the park.
