Ferry or flight from Perth to Fremantle?
Weighing a flight against the ferry from Perth to Fremantle? Add the airport time at both ends and the transfer from the arrival airport, and the ferry is frequently as fast door to door - about 1 hour 45 minutes at sea and typically cheaper, with no baggage fees. We book whichever suits you.
Return ferry from Fremantle to Perth
We book the return crossing from Fremantle to Perth just as easily, generally on the same confirmation. Round-trip fares and open returns are cheaper on many operators, so booking both directions together saves money. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.
How much does the ferry from Perth to Fremantle cost?
Ferry prices from Perth to Fremantle move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we verify the fare for the day you want to sail and send it on WhatsApp before you decide.
The figure we send is the total: passengers, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is often the best value for a family.
Cheapest ferry ticket from Perth to Fremantle: how to pay less
The cheapest ferry ticket from Perth to Fremantle is normally on the conventional ferry, booked early, on a weekday outside the peak weeks. These are the rules our team applies:
- Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
- Travel light - some fast boats limit luggage per passenger
- Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
- Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
- Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and often more scenic
- Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
We answer "what is the cheapest way to get from Perth to Fremantle by ferry?" many times a day; the answer for your travel date comes back in the WhatsApp chat with the booking ready to confirm.

Timetable and season of the Perth to Fremantle ferry
The Perth to Fremantle ferry timetable is seasonal: high summer brings the fullest schedule and the earliest sell-outs; spring and autumn have fewer boats and better fares; winter runs a reduced service on many crossings. The crossing itself takes about 1 hour 45 minutes. Tell us the day and we send the sailings, and we flag the ones most exposed to a cancellation in bad weather.
Sea conditions matter on this route: strong winds can delay or cancel high-speed boats while the conventional ferries keep sailing. When the forecast is poor we tell you and, if you prefer, book the steadier vessel.
Departure: Barrack Street Jetty
Barrack Street Jetty is where the Perth to Fremantle ferry begins. We tell you whether tickets are scanned at a gate or on board, whether an ID or passport is required, and how early to arrive for your sailing and vessel. On busy summer days the port is crowded, so the margin matters.
- Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Barrack Street Jetty; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
- Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your hotel in Perth to the port on request
- Just ask which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
