Best time to take the ferry from Perth to South Perth
The ferry from Perth to South Perth runs all year on most operators, but not equally: summer brings the most sailings and the highest fares, shoulder months the best balance, winter a reduced service. Whatever the month, booking early is the single biggest saving, especially with a car or a cabin.
Ferry or flight from Perth to South Perth?
Ferry versus plane between Perth and South Perth comes down to time, luggage and the view: the ferry has the deck, the luggage and the town-centre arrival; the plane has speed. On this route the ferry is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first for families and anyone with a car.
Return ferry from South Perth to Perth
The South Perth to Perth ferry is the same crossing in reverse, about 10 minutes. Haqqi Tours provides the return ticket in the same conversation; if the return date is not fixed, an open return on the same operator keeps it flexible.
How much does the ferry from Perth to South Perth cost?
Ferry prices from Perth to South Perth 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.
What we include in the price we send: the ticket for each passenger, any reserved seat or cabin you asked for, port taxes, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the e-ticket and answering questions before and during the crossing.
Cheapest ferry ticket from Perth to South Perth: how to pay less
A cheap Perth to South Perth ferry ticket is not luck - it is the right boat on the right day. Here is how we find it:
- 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
- Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
- Tell us if your dates are flexible; moving by a day often changes the fare
- Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
When you fill in the form, say if you can move your dates. We compare the sailings around them and send the cheapest Perth to South Perth ferry first, then the alternatives.

Timetable and season of the Perth to South Perth ferry
Sailing times on the Perth to South Perth route depend on the shipping line and the month - as a rule every 15-30 minutes. Morning departures are normally the calmest and the most reliable; the last sailing of the day is the one to avoid if you have an onward connection. We choose the sailing to fit your plan and tell you the check-in time at Elizabeth Quay Jetty.
If a sailing is cancelled by the operator for weather, you are rebooked on the next available or refunded; our WhatsApp desk handles that for you on the day.
Departure: Elizabeth Quay Jetty
Your crossing starts at Elizabeth Quay Jetty. Large ports have several gates and the boarding gate is announced on the boards and on the ticket; we send the gate and the check-in time with your confirmation. The Airport line reaches Perth Station in about 20 minutes from Airport Central and suits a city hotel with a cabin bag, though it does not reach Terminals 3 and 4 directly; Fremantle, the beach suburbs and the long drives south and north are simplest by private car.
- Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your accommodation in Perth to the port on request
- Let us know which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
- Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure
- Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
How much does the ferry from Perth to South Perth cost?
It depends on the ferry company, the vessel (fast or conventional), the date, the seat or cabin. Haqqi Tours checks the live fares for your travel date and sends the exact cost in the WhatsApp chat within minutes of receiving the form.
What if the weather cancels the sailing?
The ferry company rebooks you on the next sailing or refunds the ticket, and our WhatsApp desk handles it for you on the day. When the forecast is poor we suggest the conventional ferry, which sails in weather that cancels the fast boats.
How long is the ferry from Perth to South Perth?
About 10 minutes on the fastest vessels; the conventional ferries take longer where both run. We send the exact times for the sailing you choose.
Can I choose a seat or a cabin?
Yes, wherever the ship has classes - airline-style, lounge or business seats on the fast boats, cabins on overnight sailings. Say what you prefer and we send the cost of each.
Where does the ferry arrive in South Perth?
You dock at Mends Street Jetty, South Perth. Buses and taxis meet every arrival, and a Haqqi Tours driver can wait at the pier with your name if you add a transfer.
How early should I be at Elizabeth Quay Jetty?
Foot passengers 45 to 60 minutes before departure; earlier on international crossings. Some fast boats board only minutes before sailing, so the margin matters.
How often does the ferry from Perth to South Perth run?
Every 15-30 minutes; the timetable thickens in summer and thins in winter. We send the sailings for your travel date with the cost of each.
Is it better to take the ferry or fly from Perth to South Perth?
For most passengers the ferry: it lands in the town, carries all your luggage and is usually cheaper door to door. We provide flights too and say honestly which is better for your dates.
Is there a luggage limit on the ferry?
Luggage is not weighed on most ferries and is carried free within the operator's limits; the fast passenger boats sometimes limit the number of bags. We tell you what applies to your sailing.
Can I change or cancel my ferry ticket?
It depends on the company and the fare; most tickets can be changed for a fee, the cheapest cannot. We spell out the conditions before you confirm and handle any change for you afterwards.
Do children need a ferry ticket?
Yes, at a child fare; infants generally sail free. Put the ages on the form and we apply the right fares for the Perth to South Perth crossing.
What is the cheapest ferry ticket from Perth to South Perth?
Normally a deck or standard seat on the conventional ferry, booked early on a weekday outside the peak weeks. Give us flexible dates and we search the cheapest Perth to South Perth sailing across all of them.
Is the crossing rough?
Usually calm. In windy weeks the fast catamarans pitch more than the large ferries, and morning sailings tend to be the smoothest. Let us know if you suffer from seasickness and we choose the steadier vessel.
