SeaLink operates two, large, twin-hulled catamaran car and passenger ferries; the “Sealion 2000” and the “Spirit of Kangaroo Island” (SPOKI). These vessels have been especially built to operate the ferry service across the Backstairs Passage between Cape Jervis and Penneshaw. The ferry trip takes just 45 minutes and ferries operate up to 12 ferry times a day, each way, during peak periods.
Both ferries feature air-conditioned lounges, comfortable lounge, aircraft-style, or café-style seating, a licensed café serving fresh snacks and hot and cold drinks, outdoor viewing decks, wheelchair access, access-friendly bathrooms, and baby change facilities.
