Catching a CityCat in Hamilton

A practical starting point for ferry journeys, accessibility and checking the return trip.

Guide checked 24 September 2026

Planning travel for 25–30 September?

Read the dated ferry stoppage summary, then check Translink for the latest status.

Start with the destination

Use your actual destination address in Translink’s journey planner. Check the suggested terminal and the walking leg, rather than selecting a stop from its suburb name alone.

Understand the route

Council describes F1 as the all-stops CityCat between UQ St Lucia and Northshore Hamilton. That describes the regular network, not a guarantee that a particular sailing is operating. Check service updates alongside the timetable.

Prams, wheelchairs and bikes

Council lists wheelchair and pram access and onboard toilets among CityCat facilities. Check the specific terminal and your journey’s access needs before travel. Bikes and e-mobility devices are carried subject to space and the Master’s discretion.

Check the return before you leave

For a dinner booking or an evening out, search your return separately using the date and expected finishing time. Allow for the walk back to the terminal. A daytime option does not establish that the same service is available later.
