The Santa Cruz Port District announced on Thursday that it would be extending its water taxi hours while the full closure of the Murray Street Bridge is in effect.
The bridge connecting the Seabright neighborhood to the Live Oak area has been fully closed since June 23 and is expected to remain so until at least February 2026. Port Director Holland MacLaurie previously said that the port district would plan a trial run for extended operations.
However, it has currently added only one day to the schedule — Fridays between 3 and 8 p.m. Otherwise, the service will continue running Thursdays between 5 and 9 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., and holidays between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Passengers can be picked up from the X-1 gate toward the north harbor, the AA dock in the south harbor near Atlantic Avenue, and the launch ramp near The Crow’s Nest.
