Fares shown are one-way. The 50-cent passenger-ferry fare is TransLink's flat South East Queensland rate, paid by tapping a go card or a contactless debit/credit card at the terminal; cash isn't accepted and no booking is needed. The vehicle barge is a separate, cashless Amity Trader service (card-only since 1 July 2026): fares climb with vehicle length past the 5m tier shown here (trailers, trucks, motorbikes and freight each have their own bands on the operator's site), and prior booking is essential. All fares in Australian dollars (AUD).
The Coochiemudlo Island ferry (TransLink route F50) links Victoria Point Jetty, on the Redlands Coast south-east of Brisbane, with the terminal on Coochiemudlo Island's southern shore, a crossing of roughly ten minutes across Moreton Bay. Amity Trader has run the route for decades and, since it was folded into the South East Queensland public transport network, now operates two genuinely separate services from the same stretch of jetty: a walk-on passenger ferry timetabled and ticketed by TransLink, and a private vehicle barge that Amity Trader prices, books and schedules entirely on its own.
The passenger ferry is the service most people mean when they search for the Coochiemudlo Island ferry. It sails seven days a week, from before 5am to after 11pm on weekdays, with a later start and earlier finish on Saturdays, and an even shorter span on Sundays and public holidays. It charges the flat 50-cent South East Queensland fare that now applies across the whole TransLink network; cash isn't accepted, so a go card or a tap-and-go bank card is essential, and no booking is required, you simply wait on the platform and tap on as you board.
If you need to bring a car, trailer, boat or motorbike, or you're moving more than you can carry onto the passenger ferry in one trip, including any oversized beach trolley or dangerous goods such as gas bottles, you need the vehicle barge instead. It runs a tighter, booking-only timetable that Amity Trader manages independently of TransLink, with one-way vehicle fares scaled to length and a separate $2 walk-on fare for foot passengers travelling on the barge itself. Because the two services keep different hours, fares and booking rules, it's worth checking which one you actually need before heading to Masters Avenue.
- Arrive at the terminal a few minutes before departure; vehicle boarding usually closes earlier.
- Check the operator's service alerts before travelling — weather, tides and river levels affect services.
- Confirm accepted payment methods and whether a booking is required for vehicles.
Frequently asked questions
The passenger ferry crossing between Victoria Point Jetty and Coochiemudlo Island takes about 10 minutes, and the separate vehicle barge covers the same short stretch of water in roughly the same time.
The walk-on passenger ferry (TransLink route F50) charges the flat South East Queensland fare of $0.50 one way for both adults and children, with children under 4 travelling free. Cash isn't accepted; tap on with a go card or a contactless debit/credit card.
Yes, but not on the passenger ferry. Amity Trader runs a separate vehicle barge from the same Victoria Point jetty on Masters Avenue, with one-way fares from $35.00 for a car up to 5 metres, and prior booking is essential through Amity Trader's own booking site.
No. The walk-on ferry takes no bookings; just arrive at Victoria Point Jetty or the Coochiemudlo Island terminal and tap on when it departs. The vehicle barge is the opposite: bookings are essential and passengers who haven't booked risk being turned away.
Yes, seven days a week, year-round. Weekday sailings run from about 5am to past 11pm, Saturday's span starts later at roughly 6:15-6:30am and runs to about 11:15-11:30pm, and Sunday/public-holiday sailings finish earlier again, by around 10:45-11pm.
Bicycles and e-scooters may be carried at the crew's discretion when space allows. Dogs must be muzzled and leashed, or contained in a suitable carrier, under Amity Trader's rule effective 1 June 2026; oversized trolleys and dangerous goods such as gas bottles have to travel on the vehicle barge instead.
Both services depart Victoria Point Jetty on Masters Avenue, Victoria Point, on the Redlands Coast, arriving at the Coochiemudlo Island ferry terminal on Victoria Parade South on the island's southern shore.
No. This Moreton Bay crossing runs to the same timetable year-round with no wet-season shutdown; check TransLink's service updates page before travelling only if a specific alert, such as industrial action, has been posted.
