About the West End ferry terminalUQ St Lucia ferry terminal crossing

Back upstream to the university, four minutes. This direction runs 64 sailings against 62 outbound, and it starts earlier in the day — the first leaves at 00.04, four minutes into the new day.

Two extra boats, and why

The small surplus is not demand. It is where individual vessels finish their runs: services that terminate at St Lucia overnight have to get there, so the inbound count sits slightly higher.

The western terminus

UQ St Lucia is the end of the F1. Arriving here you are at the route's edge; everything else on the network is downstream, through West End, Guyatt Park and Regatta towards the city.

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.
