Seacat
Seacat
Vehicle and passenger ferry Seacat is the biggest ferry and flagship of our fleet. The large upstairs lounge is the perfect spot to enjoy a snack and a drink from the licenced café and bar. Admire the view from the lounge or venture up to the top deck on a nice day for an incredible view of the Hauraki Gulf and the best point for dolphin spotting. Your vehicle will be protected on the crossing with high sides and most of the vehicle deck covered leaving just the front as an open deck space to carry high roofed vehicles. A journey on Seacat is always a relaxing cruise and a great way to get to and from Waiheke Island

Other information
Pest-Free Hauraki Gulf
It is important that we work together to ensure that the islands within the Hauraki Gulf are protected from pest species that could disrupt the natural flora and fauna that exist there. We ask that all passengers check and clean their gear to be free of any pest species, dirt or soil before arriving at our terminals.
