Bicycle Policy for Ferry Travel
Bicycle & E-Rideables Policy
Port Phillip Ferries welcomes passengers travelling with bicycles and certain e-rideables. To ensure safety and smooth boarding, please read the following guidelines carefully before booking.
Booking Your Bike
- When making your online booking, select the number of bikes you will be travelling with.
- Each vessel can carry a maximum of 20 bikes per sailing, so bookings are essential to avoid disappointment.
- Please arrive at least 20 minutes prior to departure to allow extra time for boarding and securing your bike.
What We Accept
We accept standard-size bicycles that:
- Are two-wheeled and single seat
- Have a wheel size between 50 cm (20 inches) and 73 cm (29 inches)
- Have a wheelbase no larger than 111 cm (44 inches)
- Weigh less than 25 kg
What We Cannot Accept
- Oversized bicycles
- Tricycles
- Converted or modified e-bikes
If your bicycle does not meet the above specifications, the Master may refuse carriage for safety reasons.
Onboard Requirements
- Bikes must be placed in the designated bike racks at the rear of the vessel.
- Crew will secure bikes before departure.
- E-bikes and e-scooters must be switched off at all times onboard.
- Riding or charging e-bikes or e-scooters onboard is not permitted.
Passengers travel with bicycles and e-rideables at their own risk. Port Phillip Ferries does not accept responsibility for loss or damage to personal items, including bikes and e-bikes.
Why These Rules Exist
Bike size and weight limits ensure that all bicycles can be safely secured in our racks and do not compromise the safety of passengers or crew during transit.
If you are unsure whether your bicycle meets our criteria, please contact our customer service team prior to travel.
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and enjoyable ferry experience for everyone on board.
