Services

Fullers run ferries from the Downtown Ferry Terminal in Quay Street, Downtown Auckland. Fullers operate to the North Shore suburbs of Devonport, Bayswater, Birkenhead, Northcote and Stanley Bay, as well as Half Moon Bay near the eastern suburb of Howick.

They also operate tourism / excursion ferry services to the Hauraki Gulf Islands of Rangitoto, Waiheke, and Great Barrier Island (seasonal). Services to Rangitoto are via Devonport, and Fullers also operate a Half Moon Bay - Waiheke service. For the tourism services, two new catameran ferries were recently (2006 and 2007) purchased for NZ$ 3 million and NZ$ 2 million, the "Adventurer" and "Wanderer". These vessels will also assist on the company's main ferry routes during peak hours.
