DON’T spend your public holiday in a traffic jam! Searoad Ferries will have three vessels operating on the Labour Day public holiday, Monday 13 March 2017, to cater for the expected influx of day trippers, holiday-makers and music festival goers that will be travelling around the bay over the long weekend. CEO of Searoad Ferries, Matt McDonald, said roadworks and high volumes of public holiday traffic have seen increased numbers of people turning to the ferry service to travel between the Surfcoast, Bellarine and south-western region of Victoria, and the Mornington Peninsula, Phillip Island and southeastern suburbs of Melbourne. “The last few public holidays have seen higher than expected passenger numbers, particularly from travellers making their way home after a long weekend,” Matt said.
“By adding a third ferry service on Labour Day, we will be able to better manage the increased passenger numbers and ensure everyone can get home in a timely and relaxed manner.” “There are so many benefits to taking the ferry – you can bring your car onboard, which saves you battling the Melbourne traffic, and then sit back, relax and enjoy the onboard facilities and spectacular views as you let someone else take care of the driving!” he said. The three ferry services operating over the Labour Day weekend will depart every hour on the hour from 7am to 7pm. Bookings are encouraged to avoid disappointment.
