The Double Bay ferry service, officially known as F7 Double Bay, is a ferry service in Sydney, Australia. Part of the Sydney Ferries network, it is operated by Transdev Sydney Ferries from Circular Quay to Darling Point and Double Bay.
In 1908, the Watsons Bay Co began operating a service from Circular Quay to Rose Bay via Darling Point and Double Bay.[1] In 1925, a service from Fort Macquarie to Double Bay commenced.[2]
In 1992, some peak hour State Transit Authority services from Circular Quay to Rose Bay began to call at Double Bay.[3] By 2002 off-peak services had been introduced with SuperCats calling at Garden Island, Darling Point, Double Bay and Rose Bay.[4] [5]
In October 2013, the Eastern Suburbs service received the F7 classification as part of a numbering of all Sydney ferry services. In November 2017 the service was restructured. Services to Garden Island, Darling Point and Double Bay became the F7 Double Bay service, while the Watsons Bay service was merged with the F4 Pyrmont Bay service to become the F4 Cross Harbour service.[6] [7]
