Chalupa are small boats that function as shallops, water taxis or gondolas, such as those seen at the "floating gardens" of Xochimilco south of Mexico City. Chalupa boats may be rowed, poled or motorized. Common characteristics are shallow draft and benches or seats for 6 to 12 passengers.

Chalupa, in Portuguese is a small boat used for cabotage, either with oars or sails, in the latter case with a single mast.
