Flying Fish water services offers something pretty close to what you describe. Their taxi goes from a dock in Simpson Bay. You can reach them at 588-7700.

Hi Canuck54,
In my opinion a water taxi always beats a land taxi unless it is raining or the winds are high which can mean rough water. No traffic, no bridge openings and a nice pleasant ride on the water as you go to or from your destination. I know Flying Fish picks up at Porto Cupecoy on a regular basis so that would be the best place in the Cupecoy area to board from. Give them a call for details though.
I've seen the gondola website and, while it looks like a nice idea, I wonder how stable it is or how long a ride might take when waves and/or currents in the lagoon are less than ideal. Unless it has an engine on it I would not want to rely on the strength of the gondolier and his paddle. Just IMHO.
