French Island is accessible by ferry from Stony Point and Cowes. Stony Point is located 80km south-east from Melbourne CBD.

​

Take the Western Port Ferries passenger ferry from Stony Point across to French Island. The trip takes 15 minutes and delivers you to Tankerton Jetty on French Island.

Tickets are available for purchase on the ferry or online. Check Western Port Ferries or phone (03) 5257 4565 for the ferry timetable and weather conditions. Ferry services can be cancelled at very short notice.

​

On weekends there is a courtesy bus that picks up from the ferry and takes you to the French Island General Store on Tankerton Rd (approximately 3km walk).  Alternatively, please call us in advance on 0411 150 781 to arrange for us to pick you up from Tankerton Jetty.

There is also a barge service from Corinella so you can bring your car over to the island.  The barge can carry two vehicles or one truck/bus.  The barge must be booked in advance and can only travel at certain times depending on tides/weather.  Call 0428 880 729 for barge bookings.
