Inner Harbour ferry services connect suburbs on the foreshore of the inner Sydney Harbour with Circular Quay by commuter ferry. The services are provided by Sydney Ferries, an agency of the Government of New South Wales. These routes are coloured various shades of green on the current Sydney Ferries network map. Vessels in the First Fleet and Lady class generally service these routes.

The current (2013) Sydney Ferries timetable divides Inner harbour ferry services into three sections, each operating independently.

Darling Harbour services - Circular Quay, Milsons Point, McMahon Point, Balmain East, Darling Harbour and Pyrmont Bay

Neutral Bay services - Circular Quay, Kirribilli, North Sydney, Neutral Bay and Kurraba Point

Mosman services - Cremorne Point, South Mosman, Old Cremorne and Mosman Bay

Wharves

Circular Quay is a major Sydney transport hub, with a large ferry, rail and bus interchange. The Cahill Expressway is a prominent feature of the quay, running from the east, over the elevated railway station to join the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the west. Sydney Cove was the site of the initial landing of the First Fleet in Port Jackson. Circular Quay was originally mainly used for shipping and slowly developed into a transport, leisure and recreational centre. Sydney Ferries services use wharves 2, 3, 4 and 5 at Circular Quay.
