Raymond Island Ferry maintenance – dates confirmed

The Raymond Island Ferry will be out of service from Monday 10 November to Sunday 7 December 2025 for slipping and major maintenance.

This year’s works will include full external blasting and repainting of the ferry’s superstructure – essential works that haven’t been done in years.

We’ve delayed the start slightly to avoid the Melbourne Cup long weekend.

While the ferry is out of service, the following arrangements will be in place:

• A community volunteer bus will operate between the island and the water taxi landing.

• A vehicle barge will be on standby for emergency use only – limited private use may be available in line with the Ferry Service Charter. Emergency services will always take priority.
