The water taxi 3 is 31 meters long and 5.10 meters wide. The average draft is about 90 centimeters. It is equipped with a 166 kW diesel engine to drive the propeller and a smaller diesel engine with a generator to generate electricity. The steering gear works hydraulically. The box rudder behind the propeller and the bow thruster located in the bow ensure good maneuverability . The crew consists of a skipper and a sailor / engine attendant. On busy weekends during the main holiday season, a third member of the crew comes to support. A special feature of the AquaCabrio design is the flexibly usable and movable glass roof. This allows passengers to sit in the open air, and when the weather is poor and rain showers are approaching, the canopy can be closed quickly and still offers good visibility. The water taxi 3 can transport 60 people and around 20 bicycles at the same time. Some bike racks are assigned free charging stations for e-bikes . The toilet on board is barrier-free.
