Connecting the Bellarine and Great Ocean Road to the Mornington Peninsula, the 40 minute ferry crossing is a stress free alternative to driving through the city, saving you time and kilometres.

Whether you travel as a foot passenger to explore the villages of Queenscliff and Sorrento or with your car, there is much to see on the crossing – spectacular coastline, mighty ships and maybe a dolphin or two. Relax in the comfort of our lounges with full length windows or enjoy the viewing from one of our external decks. Or perhaps you’d rather be sipping a coffee, enjoying a focaccia or slurping an ice cream from our onboard kiosk with café style seating.

The twin hull vessels are built to operate in all weather conditions and can carry up to 700 passengers and 80 vehicles each.
