Sydney is a city which makes use of its harbour. Various ferry services operate, of which the most famous is the one to Manly. To this destination there are both conventional ferry services and Jetcat (fast catamaran) services. A Rivercat also operates to Parramatta in the west. To other destinations, only the traditional ferry services operate. The ferries are fun. They provide some beautiful views and they are also quite a quick way to reach the points which they serve. The city terminal is at Circular Quay, easily reached by train. There are 31 vessels with seven different classes that include the Manly Ferries, the SuperCats, the First Fleet Class ferries, the Harbour Cats and the low was RiverCats.
The conventional ferry services can be used with all of the travel passes. Conventional ferries to Manly can be used with other passes at any time, but the Jetcats are available only after 7pm. Ticket offices are located at the entrance to each wharf at Circular Quay.
Harbour cruises are also operated by the ferry company. Morning cruises last one hour and afternoon cruises last for two and a half hours. Evening cruises last for one and a half hours. However, only with the afternoon cruise will you reach places which you cannot reach on an ordinary ferry.
