Sydney RiverCat


The Sydney RiverCats are a class of catamarans operated by Transdev Sydney Ferries on the Parramatta River.

History

Between 1992 and 1995, the State Transit Authority purchased seven RiverCats from NQEA Australia, Cairns to operate Parramatta River services. They replaced First Fleet class ferries on the Circular Quay to Meadowbank service, as well as allowing services to be extended to Parramatta wharf from 1993. They were named after famous Australian female athletes.
Although they primarily operate Parramatta River services, they on occasions operated Eastern Suburbs services.
