Three JetCats were delivered in 1990/91 to replace the remaining four Sydney hydrofoils on the Manly service.

The 268-seat vessels were built by NQEA, Cairns to an Incat Crowther design.

[4] JetCat patronage had dropped from 1,453,000 passengers per annum in 1995/96 to 393,506 between July and December 2008, while ferry patronage on the route rose from 3.7 million to 6.0 million (full 08/09 year) in the same period.

[5] However this referenced source clearly reveals the change in Jetcat patronage can be explained by the reduction in the number of timetabled Jetcat services being operated from typically 256 return trips per week in 1995/96, down to 116 per week in 2008 (both including ferry replacement trips).

[6] Manly Fast Ferry commenced operating the service on 10 February 2009.
