The fleet includes the MV Wallamba, available for private charter for groups up to 25 guests; charters can be self-catered or arranged with catering options. Dinner cruises link ferry transfers with riverside dining — for example, cruise-and-dine trips to Mumms on the Myall and Restaurant 2317 feature docked meals paired to sunset ferry travel.
TG Ferry Service emphasizes local storytelling and wildlife viewing, with crew-led commentary on marine life, the lobster industry, Worimi cultural connections and coastal suburbs. Passengers can expect opportunities to see dolphins, seabirds and coastal scenery while onboard.
Cruises accommodate casual passengers bringing their own food and drinks on select sailings, while curated experiences provide complimentary beverages or grazing boards as indicated. The operator serves leisure visitors, private groups and visitors seeking guided history or dining-focused outings.
