Pink Route Ferry – Hamilton to Paget/Warwick

Ferries on the Pink Route are aimed at commuters living in Paget and Warwick. They leave Hamilton Ferry Terminal and cross Hamilton Harbour, calling at Lower Ferry, Hodsdon’s Ferry, Salt Kettle, Darrell’s Wharf, and the Belmont Ferry.

Services run every day of the week. No scooters are permitted on this route.

As previously noted the service is really geared towards commuters, although visitors staying at Newstead Belmont Hills, Salt Kettle House, Greenbank Guest House, or the Granaway Guest House will find it useful for getting to and from Hamilton.

The stops are:

• Hamilton Ferry Terminal
• Lower Ferry – Not near any hotels or attractions
• Hodsdon’s Ferry – Close to Newstead Belmont Hills
• Salt Kettle Ferry – Convenient for guests staying at Salt Kettle House or the Greenbank Guest House
• Darrell’s Wharf – Adjacent to the Wharf Executive Suites
• Belmont Ferry – Reasonably close to the Granaway Guest House
• Hamilton Ferry Terminal

The roundtrip loop takes approximately 40 minutes. The order of stops varies throughout the day because some sailings take a clockwise loop, while others take an anti-clockwise loop. Some midweek sailings don’t call at Lower Ferry and Hodsdon’s Ferry (see the timetable below).

Visitors wishing to travel elsewhere in Paget or Warwick would be better off getting the bus.

Bus number 7 travels from Hamilton to Dockyard along South Road and is convenient for Dawkins Manor, Coco Reef, Elbow Beach, Astwood Cove, and Warwick Long Bay.

Bus number 8 also runs from Hamilton to Dockyard but travels along Middle Road. It is convenient for Paget Marsh and Lindo’s Family Foods.
