About the Redland Bay Marina, platform 3Russell Island, platform 1 crossing

Mainland to Russell Island, twenty minutes — the longest crossing in the Brisbane network. 32 sailings, 04.55 to 22.15.

Twenty minutes across the bay

Russell is the furthest of the Southern Moreton Bay Islands from Redland Bay. Everything else in this network is measured in single-digit minutes; this is the outlier.

Platform 3 to platform 1

Both ends are numbered berths. Redland Bay Marina operates platforms 3 and 4 for different island services, so arriving at the marina without checking the platform can mean watching your boat leave from the next pontoon.

Twenty minutes makes this the longest crossing Brisbane City Ferries operates.

  • go card / contactless / 50c flat fare
