Apart from the main Likoni line, there is a passenger-only peak hour service between Mtongwe and Mombasa island next to Bandari College. It crosses the Kilindini Creek few kilometres west of the Kilindini line.

There are five operating ferries.MV Mvita and MV Pwani were bought in 1969 and 1974, respectively. MV Nyayo, MV Harambee and MV Kilindini were bought second hand in 1990. KFS is in process to buy two new ferries, but the order was repeatedly delayed. The two arrived in June 2010. They have been christened as MV Kwale and MV Likoni

In the science fiction video game Halo 2, Likoni is the location of a 26th-century slum known as Old Mombasa.
