Bermuda Ferry Service

Bermuda Ferry Services

Bermuda ferry services mainly operate from and to the Hamilton ferry terminal located at the Front Street harbor in Hamilton City and connects various places within the island.

You can buy your passes or tickets at any of the ferry terminals.

Bermuda transportation passes are valid for both Bermuda ferry and bus services. The transportation pass probably works out to be the cheapest option and the most convenient.

From Hamilton Ferry terminal, the ferry routes connect to various points and return.

However, the final destination of a route is either St George at the east end or Dockyard at the west end of the island.

Between the west-end dockyard and Hamilton City, the ferry can be a lot faster than the bus or any other transport in Bermuda. A direct Bermuda ferry from Hamilton to the dockyard will take about 20 minutes compared to about an hour by a Bermuda bus.

There is no direct ferry from Hamilton city to St. George at the east end. You will need to first go to the west end (at Kings Wharf Dockyard) and then to St. George. The whole journey will take over an hour including the wait time at the dockyard. The bus from Hamilton to St George takes one hour and probably more convenient. However between April to November, there is a direct ferry route from the dockyard to St. George. Find out all about Bermuda ferry routes below.

Bermuda Ferry Routes

As you can see in the map above, there are four ferry lines or routes that connect various points in Bermuda. They all start from Hamilton City, go to various docks and come back.

BLUE ROUTE: Hamilton to Royal Naval Dockyard and back. Sometimes it's a direct ferry between Hamilton and Dockyard, other times via Watford bridge and Cavello Bay. The direct ferry between Dockyard and Hamilton takes about 20 minutes. Scooters and motor bikes can embark in Hamilton and Dockyard only.

PINK ROUTE: This is a short ferry service from Hamilton city to the small docks in Warwick and Paget parishes. The points covered from Hamilton City are Lower Ferry, Hodson's Ferry, Salt Kettle, Darrell's Wharf and Belmont Ferry Stop. Scooters and motor bikes are not allowed in this route.

ORANGE ROUTE: Hamilton to Dockyard at the west (about 20 minutes) and then from Dockyard to east-end St. George (35 minutes). This ferry line usually operates during the summer season only (mid April to mid November). It offers a great cruise along the north-shore.

GREEN ROUTE: Hamilton to Rockaway Ferry Stop at Southampton parish (30 minutes). Scooters and motor bikes can embark at Hamilton and Rockaway.

There is also a direct ferry between St George and Hamilton which leaves St George in the morning and comes back in the evening. This is normally used by the workers and office goers who come to Hamilton City for work and go back in the evening.

In addition to the normal ferry boats, there are high-speed catamarans servicing the longer routes to Dockyard and Rockaway, as well as St. George in summer. Each boat is modern and comfortable, with a capacity of 200 or more passengers. The catamarans carry cycles at an additional cost of $4.

Ensure that you have purchased your tickets, tokens or passes in advance since cash is not accepted in ferries.
