About
About Sun Ferry
Sun Ferry runs the outlying-island network from Central and the cross-harbour routes on the eastern side of Hong Kong: Cheung Chau, Mui Wo on Lantau, Peng Chau, Chi Ma Wan, and North Point to Hung Hom and Kowloon City. Most island routes are served by both an ordinary ferry and a faster vessel at different fares.
The fare calculator tells you who gets a discount
Fares are set by passenger category, and the list is unusually granular: adult, child, disabled child with Octopus, disabled passenger paying cash, disabled passenger with Octopus, senior by cash or Octopus, and two separate Elder Octopus tiers — 65 and above, and 60 to 64. Ordinary ferries additionally split ordinary and deluxe class.
One rule worth knowing before you buy
A ticket is valid only for the sailing it was bought for. Miss it and the ticket is void — there is no exchange, no refund and no upgrade at the gate.
Regular travellers
A student monthly pass covers full-time day students aged 12 to 25 at recognised Hong Kong institutions. There is an online lost property system for items left on board or in the piers, and separate published guidance for typhoon season, the spring fog season and travelling with pets.
Accessibility
The site offers three text sizes and a high-contrast mode. Sun Ferry sits in the same group as Chu Kong Shipping and Fortune Ferry.
The boats that leave at half past midnight
Sun Ferry’s outlying island services run genuinely through the night. Central to Mui Wo carries 91 departures at 50 minutes, and Central to Cheung Chau carries 77 at 40 minutes — both starting at 00:30 and running to nearly midnight.
A half-past-midnight sailing to an island of twenty-odd thousand people is what distinguishes a lifeline service from a commuter one: it exists so that someone finishing a late shift in Central, or needing a hospital on Hong Kong Island at two in the morning, is not stranded until dawn. The inter-island legs are much thinner — Cheung Chau to Peng Chau has seven departures at 55 minutes — so the network is a hub, not a web.
