History
In 1989, the business was founded with the purchase of the Kangaroo Island SeaLink business. In 2004, it purchased Subritzky Ferries in Auckland. This was sold in 2011.[1]
In 2011, the business of Captain Cook Cruises (including the previously taken over Matilda Cruises), Murray River Cruises and Sunferries Townsville purchased.[1] The Townsville operation was rebranded Sealink.[2]
Sealink has also diversified, purchasing specialist travel companies, managing the Adelaide Central Bus Station, operating the SkyLink Adelaide Airport Shuttle Service and a coach operation.[1][3] In September 2013, SeaLink commenced a ferry operation in Darwin.[4]
In October 2013, SeaLink was floated on the Australian Stock Exchange.[5]
In November 2015, Sealink acquired Transit Systems marine operations, which includes:[6]
- Bay Islands Transit (BITS) ferry operation in Brisbane
- Gladstone Ferries
- Stradbroke ferries operation in Brisbane
