Ferry services cancelled

Fantasea Cruising cancelled Palm Beach-Ettalong-Wagstaffe ferry services due to extremely low tides over Easter.

A ferry disruption notification said extreme low tides during the afternoons from Thursday, March 29, to Monday, April 2, would result in a "hazardous channel navigation and crossing".

"The channel south of Lobster Beach between Lobster and Little Box is deemed unsafe," the notice said.

Services were cancelled on Thursday, March 29, and Friday, March 30, between 12pm and 4:20pm.

A public holiday timetable was in place on Easter Saturday (March 31) which meant the service was cancelled from 12pm to 5:30pm.

On April 1 and 2, the service cancellation times were 12pm to 4:20 and then 2pm to 4:20pm, in line with the low tides.
