mitigate risks. Our crew are trained and are knowledgeable on how to ensure the ferry environment is as safe as it can practicably be.

To ensure your own personal safety, we request that if you are unsure if you are travelling with dangerous goods that you check the list below, refer to our Dangerous Goods onboard SeaLink vessels: www.sealink.co.nz/travelling-with-us/dangerous-goods and if you are still unsure that you contact us for further assistance.

Lost and found

If you realise you’ve left something onboard, please contact us and we’ll make every effort possible to reunite you with your lost items.
 

Seasickness

Within the Hauraki Gulf we are travelling within a protected harbour, our ferries offer the benefit of size and stability so it is unlikely you would suffer from motion sickness. However, inclement weather can occur and we recommend passengers that are sensitive to motion sickness should take that into consideration when travelling on board any ferry.

In the unfortunate situation of a rough sailing we do carry sea sickness bags on board.
