About the North Quay ferry terminalMilton ferry terminal crossing

Fifty-seven sailings, and Saturday alone accounts for eighteen of them. The all-week block numbers twenty-three, running 07:02 to 23:17; on top of it sit those eighteen Saturday boats running as late as 23:47, eleven on weekdays, and smaller groups covering Monday to Saturday, the weekend, and a single 00:17 boat on Fridays and Saturdays.

Saturday gets its own eighteen

A Saturday-only block that size is a parallel timetable rather than a supplement, and it runs later into the night than any other day. Friday and Saturday are also the only nights with a sailing after midnight.

Six minutes, under a mile

The crossing covers 0.9 nautical miles. On a river that loops through the middle of Brisbane, the boat is competing with a road network that has to follow the bends.

Current plan

The listed departures run to 7 October 2026. With six day groups the middle of the day is dependable and the late hours are not.

Vehicles, pets & onboard

  • High-speed catamarans
  • go card / contactless / 50c flat fare
  • Wheelchair & bike friendly
  • Flood-resilient terminals

Onboard facilities and vehicle, pet and luggage policies vary by operator and vessel; confirm details with the operator before booking.
