Web Reviews about the Taxi Boat:
Speed Boat Taxi Transfer to Jaco Beach (and other destinations on
request):
The trip to Jaco (Herradura) by boat is one hour. Don’t
take the long way. Take our boat directly from Montezuma Beach to Jaco.
You may also have the chance to see dolphins, whales and other marine
wildlife. Ask about other destinations!
Taxi Boat to and from Jaco
The private speed boat, taxi boat or water taxi to Montezuma or Jaco is
one of the best way of transportation in this area of Costa Rica. Saving
up to 7 hours of hot and uncomfortable trip by land, the taxi boat most
accurate way to get to Montezuma or Jaco.
Taxi Boat Jaco Montezuma
We ended up staying two nights here and then leaving via private taxi boat
across the awesome Nicoya Gulf, ($45USD ea), for a 1 hour transfer to the
to town of Jaco (which would have taken us at least 8 hours of busing /
ferries to get to otherwise.
Taxi Boat
So in a few minutes we're off to taxi a “Taxi Boat” up the coast to
Montezuma, which is on the peninsula on the north pacific side of Costa
Rica. I've wanted to go to this area for a while now! See the image on how
we'll cut across the ocean to get there. The boat is an hour instead of
the many (treacherous) hours driving up the coast and probably more scenic
:)

Recommendations for ferry use:  

When you arrive at the ferry port of Puntarenas, Paquera or Naranjo, you first must be sure your vehicle is in the line for the ferry of your destination. A ferry representative will distribute a token to the drivers of vehicles in the line. The driver must take this token and purchase a boarding ticket at the ticket office (boletería).

Vehicles have priority over foot passengers, so drivers can go directly to the head of the line. The driver can also purchase tickets for all of the passengers traveling in the vehicle at the same time. A ticket purchased for the vehicle includes the driver and note the price differences for adults and children. You should follow this process yourself and not allow any intermediaries loitering in the area to make the ticket purchase for you.

As you board, only the driver remains in the vehicle and the passengers must walk into the ferry. Ferry employees will tear off the stub of you ticket, direct you into the ferry and show you where to park your vehicle.

At night, please use only your parking lights or low beam so you do not blind the ferry employees. Put on your emergency brake and remember where your vehicle is parked. The motor must remain turned off until the ferry reaches the destination port.

The driver must return to the vehicle as it reaches port and is the only person allowed in the vehicle at disembarkation. Passengers walk off and meet the driver and vehicle beyond the terminal.
