Along with her sister ship she became vital on the degraded Manly run after the withdrawal of the South Steyne left only North Head and Baragoola to fill that service. With Baragoola out for an extended refit the two new, smaller inner harbour ferries were quickly pressed into service to fill in.

In February 2006 three of the Freshwater ferries were out of service, Lady Northcott was returned to the Manly run and Sydney Ferries chartered Lady Wakehurst to operate as her running mate.

Today Lady wakehurst operates as a commercial charter cruiser equipped with a bar, dance floor, lighting and sound ready for all occasions including weddings, social cruises, hens and bucks nights, birthday parties and more.
