About
About Marina
Queenstown's ferry runs on a lake, not a coast, and Frankton Marina is one of its four stops. Hilton is 0.8 nautical miles away at 5 minutes; Bayview is 1.7 nautical miles at 5 to 10 minutes. Each leg carries 14 sailings a week.
The service is daytime and evening only — 08:15 through to 21:55 — and runs on a single daily calendar with no weekday or weekend variation.
Lake Wakatipu is a long S-shaped trench 80 kilometres end to end, and the road between Frankton and the Kelvin Heights side runs the whole way round the arm. The Otago Regional Council added the ferry to the region's public transport network for exactly that reason: 5 minutes across against a substantial drive round.
