About the QUT Gardens Point ferry terminalRiverside ferry terminal crossing

Nine minutes around the river bend to Riverside — longer than the four-minute hops on either side of it, because the boat follows the curve past the Botanic Gardens rather than crossing straight over.

77 sailings, 05.59 to 23.45

One of the most frequent legs on the F1 despite being one of the slower ones. Riverside serves the northern edge of the CBD and the Eagle Street office district, so the demand justifies the extra minutes.

The geography does the work

Brisbane's river loops sharply through the city. A route that follows the water is always going to be longer than the map suggests — which is precisely why the cross-river shuttles like the F22 and F24 exist alongside it.

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.
