The service is provided by Tomizone. You connect your device to the tomizone@sydneyferries access point on the upper deck, open your browser and then log into the Tomizone portal. Once past the 30 minutes (just long enough for the trip) or past the 30MB, you can top up with your credit card.

Check out the Sydney Ferries post about their free wifi and top-up pricing, and make sure you read the FAQ on the Tomizone PDF.

Of course, they aren’t the first ones to offer free wifi. The private Manly Fast Ferry has been offering free wifi since mid May, as a three month pilot, provided by CafeScreen.

Any other Australian city ferry services having free wifi?
