25.01.2022 The wait is over the Ferry will be returning tomorrow! We wish to thank everyone for their patience, understanding and continued support throughout the unforeseen extended break this year. We are excited to see many familiar faces this week and hope to see some new passengers along the way. A big thank you to our dedicated employees who worked tirelessly to ensure the maintenance of the Ferry was at its highest standard ready for return.... The Ferry will operate on the same business hours and fare costs as before its break. Monday to Friday: 7 am - 5:30 pm Saturdays: 9 am - 5 pm Adult: $3 Family: $10 Student: $2 $5 same-day return trips will continue. Passengers will receive a stamp on their ticket and must use return trip same-day otherwise it will become ineligible. Pictured L-R: Dave, Anthony, Gemma, and Simon.

24.01.2022 You may have noticed this past week that our ferry is out of the water. Covid-19, unfortunately, cut our sailing time short this year before its important maintenance period was scheduled to begin. Rest assured, we will be back sailing on September 1 with a safe vessel to get you all across swiftly! We thank you for your understanding and can't wait to see all your friendly faces this spring!

22.01.2022 Where has the time gone? September 1 is almost here, just under one week until the Ferry is back operating! We have some great news too, our $5 same-day return fare will be continuing when we are back up and running. Looking forward to seeing some new and familiar faces onboard.

21.01.2022 Welcome to Seniors Week! Have your Seniors Card ready for our drivers to view and enjoy free travel until this Sunday 18, October. More info: https://bit.ly/3dkNI0h Thank you to COTA Australia - for older Australians and the Tasmanian Government for making this week possible.

08.01.2022 We would like to announce that unfortunately, tomorrow March 31, will be the ferry's last day of operation for the foreseeable future. We believe this is the right thing to do to ensure the health and safety of our employees and our passengers. Please be safe and take care of yourself. We hope to be sailing again in no time.

03.01.2022 Only four weeks left until we are back sailing across the river. Who else is as excited as we are?

02.01.2022 Here's something to brighten up your mid-week blues. $1 ferry fares! During these upcoming school holidays, we are offering a single fare trip for just $1 on Wednesdays only. Bikes and dogs that are on leads are welcome aboard. Catching the Ferry across to East Devonport is perfect for families to enjoy a walk or ride to Pioneer Park (and to exert some of that endless energy kids seem to always have!)
