Ships up to {{Convert|280|ft}} long may dock in the former port of [[Dermaga Diraja Bandar Seri Begawan]], which is located 17 miles upstream from the mouth of the Brunei River. A 124-foot passenger pier, a 730-foot reinforced concrete wharf, and an electrically powered ramp are among the port's amenities.{{Sfn|Great Britain Colonial Office|1972|p=338}} Ships may purchase purified fresh water in the capital for $2.00 per 1,000 gallons. The Marine Department keeps track of use and bills the ship's agent. The Bandar Seri Begawan Municipal Board is credited with the money received from these water sales.{{Sfn|Great Britain Colonial Office|1972|p=342}} Between the city and [[Labuan|Victoria Harbour]], a passenger boat that also transports mail runs every day (except for Sundays). On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, an outboard motorboat service also carries mail and people between Bandar Seri Begawan to [[Bangar, Brunei|Bangar]] in [[Temburong District]].{{Sfn|Great Britain Colonial Office|1972|p=343}}

A [[water taxi]] service known as 'penambang' is used for transportation between downtown Bandar Seri Begawan and [[Kampong Ayer]]. Water taxis are the most common means of negotiating the waterways of Kampong Ayer. They can be hailed from the numerous "docking parts" along the banks of the [[Brunei River]]. Fares are negotiable. Regular water taxi and boat services depart for [[Temburong District|Temburong]] between 7:45&nbsp;am and 4&nbsp;pm daily, and also serve the Malaysian towns of [[Limbang]], [[Lawas]], [[Sundar, Malaysia|Sundar]] and [[Labuan Territory|Labuan]]. A [[speedboat]] is used for passengers travelling to Penambang from [[Bangar, Brunei|Bangar]] and Limbang.
