Connecting NRMA members to blue highways

We are looking beyond motoring to help deliver more integrated transport solutions. By making use of Sydney’s iconic waterways, we'll provide a more accessible, faster and efficient ferry network.

Independent advocacy and lobbying for better transport infrastructure has been a core focus since our inception. The 2018 acquisition of My Fast Ferry is the first step of many on a new journey into providing more accessible, affordable transport options to more communities.

We’re now the exclusive provider of fast ferry services from Manly to Circular Quay, as well as regular services to Sydney Harbour locations and popular whale watching and sightseeing destinations. 

In 2018 we welcomed 3.58 million passengers on board nine vessels. It’s all part of our commitment to solving urban transport problems, opening up ‘blue highways’, and delivering tourism on the doorstop of our metro centres.

Why travel by My Fast Ferry?

Save time

The Manly to Circular Quay trip takes an average of 18 minutes, which is significantly faster than the average one-hour bus journey and more than twice as fast as the optimal car journey.

Affordability

Costs are comparable to other public transport services, with no Government subsidies, and customers get home to their families faster than those who drive or catch a bus.

Travel in comfort

If looking out over Sydney’s stunning harbour on the way to work isn’t quite enough, commuters can also access free Wi-Fi and quench their thirst at the onboard bar.

Blue highways

We launched the blue highways Report in June, providing strategic recommendations for a more efficient ferry network to help alleviate congestion between Sydney and Parramatta, including establishing a Western Quay at Wentworth Point for fast ferries, buses and active transport.
