We’re currently gauging interest to help us shape the program and understand what businesses are looking for — including which ferry network you’re interested in and how long you might like to advertise.

💙 A very special arrival onboard Medicat.

SeaLink team member Josh Atkinson has a story he’ll never forget - welcoming his daughter Zoe into the world aboard Medicat, our marine ambulance serving the Southern Moreton Bay Islands.

While en route to hospital, Zoe made an early arrival and was safely delivered on board.

We recently caught up with Josh to celebrate, sharing a gift from the SeaLink team, and a handcrafted Medicat replica by local legend DJ.

Congratulations to Josh, Tegan and big sister Kayla on your beautiful new arrival.
