About the Regatta ferry terminal – North Quay ferry terminal crossing
Eighteen sailings carry a seven-day calendar and the last of them is at twenty to six in the evening. Everything after that hour — and everything before eight in the morning — belongs to a restricted group.
Two boats that exist on one day each
A Friday 22:57 and a Saturday 23:27. They are the last departures of the week and neither appears on any other date.
Ten knots over 1.5 nautical miles
Nine minutes down the Brisbane River from Regatta at Toowong to North Quay, at the western edge of the CBD. Twelve weekday-only boats open the service at 05:42; seven weekend ones run to 22:27.
8 August to 7 October 2026
A Sunday evening here outlasts a Monday one by half an hour, which on a commuter river is the wrong way round and worth knowing before relying on it.
