Where are you flying to? Hilton Sharjah is, well, in Sharjah which is a different country (Emirate, technically) to Dubai.
No water taxis.
No 'port' as such (well, there is a huge port, but its a 'real' port full of LNG tankers.)
A normal taxi takes 12-13 minutes to get from the Waldorf (or Zabeel Saray on the other side) onto the mainland, and then of course you need to add on the time it takes to get to where you are going in Dubai.
I'd guess, from DXB, it is about 45 minutes. From Abu Dhabi airport it would be about 55-60 minutes? This is outside the Sun-Thu business peak.
