WASHINGTON - Nationals fans will soon be able to take a water taxi from the Alexandria waterfront dock to a dock right next to the ballpark.

Tickets for the 40-minute boat trips go on sale Friday at noon.

"I think it's a great price, $12 one way and $20 round trip," Charlotte Hall, Vice President of the Potomac Riverboat Company, tells WTOP. "That includes tax."

Fans who live in Maryland can park at National Harbor, and take a separate water taxi across the river to catch the "baseball boat" in Alexandria. However, that will require a separate ticket for $8 one way or $16 round trip.

Hall says they're offering water taxi rides to and from seven Nationals home games in September, beginning with a game against Philadelphia on Tuesday, Sept. 8.

You can also buy water taxi tickets to home games on Sept. 9, 10, 25, 28, 29, and 30.

Hall says they hope to expand service in time for next baseball season.
