The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Downtown
At the heart of Toronto, Downtown is the destination for cheap eats and fast fashion. Cut through by hip and trendy Yonge Street, the vibe here is young, with a strong student influence from the Ryerson University Campus. As a result, the Downtown area is always in flux: undergoing the construction of new facilities, with fresh retail spaces and pop-up cafes. Home to Toronto's largest indoor shopping mall, a number of vintage cinemas, and a healthy nightlife centered on the area's Distillery District bar and clubs near the East End, it's both an easygoing daytime spot and a popular party place after sunset. It also features some of Toronto's best outdoor landmarks, including Yonge-Dundas Square and the Nathan Phillips Square: perfect for a concert, a skate, or a relaxing sit-down.

We took the pirate taxi from Toronto to Centre Island. It cost CAD60 for the 4 of us. It was a nice little trip and the captain was really fun (we can’t recall his name but he was a slightly older gentleman with greying hair). He gave us lots of fun little facts and also took some nice pictures of the 4 of us (free of charge).
I don’t tip for things like this as a matter of course but our Captain was so nice that we decided to give him a tip (which had to be in pounds because we had no dollars on us!) but he was really pleased with that anyway because he said his wife was off to the UK soon so he could give her the tip for spending money!
We’d recommend taking the pirate ship out to the Islands and we took the ferry back to Toronto (which is free of charge)

We used the Pirate Taxi service for the first time and received awesome service by the driver Rielle. She was awesome!!!! Very welcoming as soon as we got on board. She offered us the option to pick our choice of music. It wasn't very busy and took the time to position the boat for us to take awesome selfies with the Toronto Skyline. She was extremely friendly, bubbly and kind. Great service provided by Rielle, we will personally ask for her service in the future! Thank You Pirate Taxis!!

To visit Toronto Island Park we preferred to take the "Pirate Taxi" service rather than the Ferry Boat. Our little ones liked it much more (the service is one way, on the way back you take the ordinary Ferry Boat, which has no costs for the return only): this is because they are much less crowded and make the crossing much more enjoyable. Boarding is at the Harbor Ront Center and HTO Park. I advise!

These guys are great. Responsive, flexible, great service. And picked us up once after Tiki Taxi promised to pick us up but did not and lied about it. I highly recommend the Pirate Taxi
