Port Phillip Ferries

  • Cruise
  • Recreation

Port Phillip Ferries travel daily between Melbourne and the Geelong and Bellarine regions, but they're not just a passenger service – they're connecting people and experiences.

Whether for commuters or travellers, daily services between Portarlington and Docklands (70 minutes), and Geelong and Docklands (90 minutes), are ideal for a relaxed way to travel to Melbourne from the coast, or a regional adventure on Melbourne’s doorstep.

For those wishing to gain another view of Melbourne, there are daily cruises from Victoria Harbour down the Yarra River.

Purpose-built vessels cater to all the creature comforts. Think on-board licensed cafe, barista-made coffee, free Wi-Fi, bike racks, charging stations and endless scenic views.

Each service is accessible for all via boarding ramps, and comfortably facilitates wheelchairs, motorised mobility scooters and prams.

Gather your captain and crew, it’s time to set sail on an adventure across the bay.
