Football fans attending the West Coast Eagles’ next home game at Optus Stadium now have the option of taking a ferry, with the opening of the new $5 million Burswood Jetty.

Private ferry services to the stadium will be in place for the first weeknight fixture on Thursday, June 21, after Captain Cook Cruises bought exclusive access to a dedicated berth at the new facility for major events at Optus Stadium.

The Department of Transport awarded Captain Cook Cruises priority use of one berth following a recent expression of interest process.

On an event day, Captain Cook Cruises is expected to pick up and drop off up to 1440 people on two return services in five vessels.
