Logan Water Shuttle Question

Seeking advice on accessing the water shuttle between Logan Airport and the Seaport Hotel in Boston. I'm arriving on the Delta Shuttle from LGA. Thanks!

I didn't find this as simple or trouble-free as the web page implies. Arriving at about 8pm, it was at least a 10-15 minute wait for the bus to the wharf were the water shuttles departed (which is far away from the terminals, near the Hyatt hotel). Then when I got there, virtually all the shuttles and taxis had already stopped for the night, with one water taxi left who took me "as a favor" (maybe a pitch for a bigger tip). All told it was more hassle than a taxi and not much cheaper, even given the outrageous taxi fares to/from Logan. Maybe it's better during the day.

Thanks for the reality check!

Not sure where exactly your hotel is but if it's by a "T" subway stop I'd take the T. From Delta's Terminal A (just opened and is really nice, by the way) take an airport shuttle bus (looks blue) that'll take you to the T stop, then take the "T" (only 1 line at the airport-blue line) inbound. Most people will change lines at GOverenment Center for Green or earlier for Orange.

It's a quick hop (although not nearly as cheap as it should be) by taxi.
