September 2024 updates

Our timetable is changing from the 12 October. Click here to contact us for a copy of our new timetables.

Please note our ferry services have been excluded from the public transport offering after the All Blacks match on the 28 September so we will not be putting on any additional sailings. You also can't use your ticket to get free transport to the game. For enquiries please contact Metlink. 

Mātiu/Somes Island will be closed from 19 February 2024 for 6 - 8 months. 

Avoid the traffic and use East by West Ferry to transport you to and from work or school.

Tickets

  • 10-trips are available for regular ferry users.
  • These do not have an expiry date and can be used for up to two people at a time. 
  • All tickets can be purchased on board the ferry with Cash, EFTPOS or Credit Card.  
  • Check out our Fares and FAQ page for full fare information.

Seatoun

We are currently looking into the feasibility of resuming services from Queens Wharf - Seatoun and will update when we have made a decision.

Cancellations

Due to weather or other unexpected issues, we do cancel one or both ferries from time to time. 

On occasion we need to go to a restricted timetable, if the conditions are too rough for our smaller vessel.

In the case of a full cancellation, replacement shuttles are no longer provided.

Notifications:

Metlink offer a free notification service for commuters through Metlink. This service sends out alerts if there are any cancellations to our services.
