Spirit of French Island operate a vehicular barge from Corinella on the eastern side
of Western Port to the barge landing on French Island. It accommodates two standard size
cars or a larger truck.
It is advisable to book as far in advance as
possible, as the barge schedule and availability is limited
by times and tides. As a guide, the barge runs approximately every half
hour for a few hours either side of high tide.
Foot passengers can take the barge but they should arrange transportation at either end as
there are no other facilities.
