- Walking onto the vehicle ferry is free between the islands. Only trips to or from Redland Bay are charged.
- These are foot passenger fares. If you have booked a vehicle, the people in it are already covered by the vehicle fare — and so are bikes, kayaks and gear carried in it or on a trailer.
- A kayak fare does not include your own. SeaLink prints it as "excluding passenger", so you pay the kayak and your adult fare. A bicycle is free, but only with a passenger ticket — same idea.
Before you go
- Allow 30 minutes
- SeaLink's terms say to check in at least 20 minutes before departure, and they can refuse boarding after that. Their booking system uses 30. Allow 30 and you are covered either way.
- Where it leaves from
- 1 Weinam Street, Redland Bay — the same terminal as the passenger ferry.
- Size limits
- Cars up to 10m and caravans up to 10m book online; up to 20m by phone. Maximum width 2.6m, excluding mirrors. Declared length and width must include your load.
- Dogs
- Welcome at no extra cost, but muzzled or crated if they travel outside a vehicle.
- Residents
- SMBI residents with a resident profile get 50% off eligible vehicle types. Vehicles must be registered with SeaLink first.
- Paying by card costs 1% more
- Visa, Mastercard and American Express carry a 1% surcharge. PayPal, EFTPOS, direct deposit and cash do not.
- Changing or cancelling
- Bookings can be changed online up to two hours before departure; after that, phone 07 3488 5300. Cancelling costs $10 per one-way journey whenever you do it — cancel 48 hours or more ahead and the rest is refunded or held as credit; inside 48 hours the rest is held as credit only. Not turning up forfeits the lot.
- Passenger ferry is a different service
- The green Translink passenger ferries are 50c fares and are not booked. Bay Buddy has those times.
- All prices are for one-way travel.
- Infants (0-4 years) travel free of charge.
- Declared vehicle length and width must include load. Vehicle width excludes side mirrors.
- SMBI residents with an SMBI resident profile receive a 50% subsidy for eligible vehicle types.
- Please request a quote for trucks 2.5m wide or greater.
- Prices are subject to change without notice.
