Released in February 2021, the new My Fast Ferry Smartcard replaces the older version that’s been in circulation since 2009.

The new My Fast Ferry Smartcard introduces a host of benefits, such as the ability to top-up and manage your card in real-time via our website or mobile apps.

We also now have a Child Smartcard for those aged between 4-15 years old (up-to 18 when holding an active school ID).

Those currently using one of our older Smartcards will be able to continue transacting with the card until the current balance runs out. Once the balance runs out, you will be asked to move to our new Smartcard.

Like with our old Smartcards, you’ll be able to run your balance / tickets down over the next few months. At the end of this period we’ll reach out and look to credit / transfer any unused balance or tickets onto the new Smartcard. A refund may also be provided in-line with our ticketing Terms & Conditions.

We offer Smartcards for Adults (16+) and Children (4-15, up to 18 with valid school ID).

Please Note: Concessional rates (e.g. >60) may apply when using Opal Pay. For full details around current fares and offers, please visit myfastferry.com.au/manly-fast-ferry and select the relevant service. Those under 4 years of age travel free of charge.

You can create an account and register your new My Fast Ferry Smartcard via our site smartcard.myfastferry.com.au or by download our new mobile app and following the prompts.

All top-ups can be completed on-line via our new mobile app or smartcard.myfastferry.com.au.
The minimum top-up value is $25 whilst the maximum account balance is $200.

You can also set up auto top-ups so your account automatically tops up when your balance dips below $10.

As per the standards Terms & Conditions, accounts which have not recorded a trip in the last 3 years may be cancelled.

No. The My Fast Ferry Smartcard can only be used on services operated by My Fast Ferry.

You can keep track of your transaction history yourself on the one card however if you need a clear transaction trail, we can provide you with a second card. As each Smartcard needs to be registered against a unique email address, you would need to have two email addresses e.g. personal and work in order to use this approach. It is your responsibility to identify each card and manage your transactions – we are unable to transfer transaction records across Smartcards.

You can purchase a ticket on our commuter services using your Opal Card (see Opal Pay) or by tapping on with a participating credit card, debit card or mobile wallet (e.g. Apple Pay). Paper tickets will still be available on selected services.

Additionally, tickets for most of our tourism services can be purchased online at myfastferry.com.au.

10. (Adult and Child cards only) There are two types of Smartcard – Adult and Child. You can only use a Child card if you are under the age of 15. Everyone else must use an Adult card. Sorry, there is no seniors card. Parents or guardians who acquire a Smartcard for their child are responsible for the child’s use of that Smartcard. Children must cease to use a Child Smartcard when they turn 15 (unless they have a valid student card for secondary school, not tertiary).

11. (Tap on to buy a ticket) To use your Smartcard to purchase a ticket, you just need to tap on at the barrier (or on certain services once you are on board). When you tap on and the transaction is processed, the ticket price will be deducted from the stored balance on your Smartcard and your Smartcard is then your ticket for that trip. If you tap on and the transaction fails (which usually happens because there’s not enough stored value on the Smartcard) then you’ll need to either top-up online of via the app, or buy a ticket using another payment method.
