Auckland CBD, Pier 3, Downtown Ferry Terminal
Pier 3 is situated in the Downtown Ferry terminal in the heart of Auckland City. It's just a 30-minute drive from Auckland Airport and a 2 minute walk from Britomart Train Station. There's no ticketing office for this ferry service and you will need to purchase a ticket at one of the Auckland Transport machines located just inside the ferry terminal or you can tag on with your AT Hop Card. Coffee shops are located across the road and nearby if you arrive early or need to grab a drink or snack before boarding. Our ferries do not have a café/bar onboard, so on this route no food or drinks can be purchased. You can travel with your bike to and from Pine Harbour. They will be parked on the back deck for the duration of the sailing.

Facilities
Ferries
Clipper II, III, IV, V
Our clippers run between Pine Harbour marina on the Pōhutakawa Coast and downtown Auckland seven days a week. These modern, high-speed catamarans transport up to 48 passengers and 98 passengers at a time. Relax in the comfort of the inside cabin or on the small back open deck, for an exhilarating ride. The perfect boat from commuters or for people wanting to explore the Pōhutukawa coast. Because of the size and speed the Clippers operate at, there are no onboard café facilities. Great for private charters as these ferries can be taken into most wharves and private jetties.
