Where is the ferry? See every ferry live on the map.
Timetable apps tell you when the ferry is due. Wayaroo shows the boat itself: every Sydney ferry moving across the harbour in real time, straight from Transport for NSW's live feed, with its route (F1 Manly, F3 Parramatta River, F2 Taronga Zoo…), where it's heading, and whether it's running late. Tap one for its next wharves with live times.
Sydney: all Sydney Ferries routes. Elsewhere: ferries in any city whose operator publishes an open live feed — Wayaroo tells a ferry from a bus by the operator's own timetable, so a boat is always a boat on the map.
Next departures at your wharf, with the wharf number
Open the For you tab near the water and the closest wharves are at the top, with the walk in metres and what's leaving next: "F1 → Manly, wharf 3: in 4 and 24 min". Circular Quay's wharves fold into one entry, so you see every departure and which wharf to stand at. Tap a departure to follow that ferry live.
Running late? You'll know before you get there
Each ferry carries the operator's live delay. A late boat is marked in minutes, a cancelled trip is marked cancelled, and the next wharves show the predicted time, not the timetable time — so a trip that's drifting ten minutes behind doesn't catch you out on the pontoon.
Riding along: your wharf, in your language
Choose your wharf in the ferry's details and Wayaroo tells you when it's next, in any of its 20 languages. The same works on trains, trams and buses, so a visitor can change from the Manly ferry to a bus without reading a single sign.
One switch, everywhere
Ferries have their own chip at the top of the map, beside trains, trams and buses, and it only appears where there are ferries in view: Sydney Harbour gets it, Melbourne's CBD doesn't. Switch any mode off and the rest stay.

Live positions and predictions come from Transport for NSW (CC BY 4.0) and each operator's own open feed, found through the Mobility Database.
