The Blackwattle Bay ferry service, officially known as F10 Blackwattle Bay, is a commuter ferry service in Sydney, New South Wales. Part of the Sydney Ferries network, it is operated by Transdev Sydney Ferries. The service shuttles between Barangaroo and Blackwattle Bay, taking 13 minutes.
The service was initially introduced on 14 October 2019, as an on-demand service between four wharves, but was closed as a results of the COVID-19 pandemic. However it was reintroduced in November 2021 as a timetabled service while the Inner West Light Rail was closed. In December 2022, the service was made permanent.
As of January 2025, the service is not part of the Opal network, and instead must be paid for on board using credit or debit card. However, the government plans to incorporate the service into the Opal network in late 2025.
Elizabeth Macarthur Bay public pontoon in Pirrama Park at the north end of Pyrmont was added as a stop from 7 April 2025.
