SeaLink would like to thank the community and island businesses for their continued support of our staff and crew as we continue sustainably reintroduce services. Our ability to reintroduce services has been supported by strong regional travel across the weekends from fellow Queenslanders travelling to Magnetic Island and this will continue for upcoming school holiday period.

However, SeaLink will continue to assess the timetable as travel restrictions ease and where sustainable to do so, we will continue to add additional services.
