Williamstown transfer is for passengers coming from the Westside. Our vessel the Coastal Flyer lives in Williamstown so we thought what a great opportunity to give the community in the west an option to travel via ferry to the Penguin cruise.

You have the option to go across on any other schedules services on that day, grab lunch, dinner a drink, enjoy the many things St Kilda has to offer before joining us once again for the Penguin cruise.

after the penguin cruise finishes again in St Kilda the boat will return directly back to Willimstown.

The transfer fee is 50% off a normal St Kilda return fare.

Yes, however you’ll need to call us to discuss how to book your carer a free ticket with a code.

Yes we allow dog onboard, however, we ask that dogs are well supervised for the comfort of our other passengers. Note some dogs are frightened by our gangplank (ramp), if this is the case the dog will need to be carried onboard.

No dogs permitted on our Sunset Penguin cruises.

Unfortunately for the most part no.

However if the person is able to walk assisted up a ramp with handrails and down two steps into the boat our crew will be more than happy to assist less mobile passengers. 

Temporary boarding location, departure now at end of new pier. Meeting location down the ramp to the right of the Kiosk. Boat leaves from the floating landing.

Once the old St Kilda Pier is demolished our new boarding will be only 50m up the pier from the lower landing on the righthand side.

The Sunset Penguin Cruises depart 15minutes before sunset so the times change with the sunset, best to check the Sunset Penguins cruise page for dates and times
