Channel Cat Water Taxi

Channel Cat 2019 Season

Due to current river levels, we are unable to determine a start date for the Channel Cat. We will resume service as soon as we are able.

Welcome aboard! 



Experience the power and mystique of the river as it flows east to west for one of only a few times over its length. Get a taste of the area once known as the Rock Island Rapids – considered the most dangerous section of the upper Mississippi.

The Channel Cat Water Taxi provides three (3) open-air passenger ferryboats on the Mississippi River. Service is generally provided from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, with additional weekend service through October (weather permitting).
