About the North Quay ferry terminal – South Bank ferry terminal crossing

Across the river into South Bank: four minutes, and 77 sailings a day — among the busiest legs on the entire F1.

A cultural precinct, not a suburb

South Bank holds the state gallery, the museum, the performing arts centre and the parklands. That mix means this crossing carries visitors through the middle of the day as well as commuters at either end of it, and the service runs to 23.37 accordingly.

Why the count jumps here

Upstream the F1 runs 43 boats a leg. From North Quay eastwards it runs 77. The city-centre section is effectively a separate, denser service that happens to share a route number.

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.
