THE FERRY

Western Port Ferries standard Ferry service, MV Naturaliste, offers excellent facilities including disabled toilets and easy boarding for passengers with special needs. The Lounge Deck on the MV Naturaliste has full length viewing windows and a range of seating areas. It is all one level with access to a small external upper deck with outside seating. For wheelchair access there is a small lip to manoeuvre over the gangway of the ferry where it sits on the pier or jetty.

Wheelchair and special needs access to Stony Point Pier, Tankerton Pier and Cowes Jetty is very limited due to stairs on each of these piers and jetties.

Please note from time to time during the year Western Port Ferries runs an additional ferry service in conjunction with our standard ferry service. This is a small ferry – MV Island Explorer. This ferry is not suitable for passengers with special needs.

THE JETTY & PIERS

Wheelchair and special needs access to Stony Point Pier, Tankerton Pier and Cowes Jetty is very limited due to stairs on each of these piers and jetties.
