Manly Fast Ferry

The staff were clearly striking for a reason. Fewer services, usually late and at an increased price. Often less clean too. Shows why competition can be good in a market like this!

Went for last ferry which according to tripview is at 9:25pm on a Monday. Got there as it pulled in at 9:20 to be told that was the last one and there was no trip back. Thanks for leaving me high and dry! Please update your schedules. Photo of tripview showing it not following that schedule because i’m petty and annoyed!

Once again a clear demonstration that a monopoly does not work. 4 or 5 of us not let on because of no reason other than the ladies call. To make it worse she lied saying the boat was full when clearly it was half empty. Rest assured I will be vociferous when the tender is out again. Since the monopoly customer service has disappeared.

I do this commute daily and cannot believe the amount of times the aircon wasn't working in summer time. Not acceptable in this heat packed with passengers. Are the ferries not serviced, cost saving, what?

So Awful! But what choice do you have. Very Disappointing, rude staff and zero customer service. Bring back the old fast ferry service. These guys ruin the vibe of manly.

First time take ferry and very bad experience with fast ferry. They have delayed an hour to pick us up from tagonra zoo and no apologizes. Very bad experience. We have more than 140 customers have to stay and wait for next ferry coming. I won’t suggest this ferry at all. Jason

I've been travelling on this service for several years all of a sudden you can't top up your card on board but have to queue up on the wharf so I complained and now I can't buy a beer on board ! Good one manly FF certainly not going to be recommending you to my interstate or overseas friends

Ever since the competition was eliminated the service has been terrible, staff rude and commute to work uncertain. The morning and afternoon peak commutes are overcrowded and it is often a case of having to wait one or two ferry's to get on. Ticket prices have also risen from what the promised in their tender. NOT WORTH IT.

Every morning peak hour they close off gates 10 mins prior due to overcrowding. It is overrated calling it a fast ferry, why bother when the 'slow ferry' takes the same time when consider standing on wharf waiting, miss Sydney Fast Ferry.

Hi Manly fast ferry!
Ever since the change to the opal card system, the fast ferries have been packed. Especially around 8am. One needs to get to the ferry 10 min before, which makes the commute at least equal to the slow ferry. Its really inconvenient and frustrating not knowing whether you'll get on the trip. Are you looking into a long term solution for this?

6.30pm 24/8/2016 ferry from circular quay to Manly was in such a hurry to unload and load people. Passengers were loading on before passengers from the existing trip could get off blocking the entrances. I am stuck on the boat going back to circular quay and back again. I hate this. The waves and darkness is making me sick.

Sorry guys I agree with the first review. Since you have taken over your service standards have dropped. The additional ferries are not built for winter in Sydney. You pile passengers on, but if down stairs is full we have to go upstairs where on some ferries the cover from wind and cold is non existent . Please improve.
