Your entry points for Tasmania are
* Devonport (Spirit of Tasmania)
* Hobart or Launceston (Virgin Blue)
* Devonport or Burnie (Rex)
* All of the above (Qantas)

I doubt you really want to sit up all night on the ferry - and it
probably won't be cheaper anyway.

I just checked each of the airlines for the 1st weekend in March and I
found that the cheapest was Rex to Burnie at around $85 followed by
Qantas to Launceston at around $90 followed by Virgin Blue to Hobart at
$110.

That should give you an idea of what to expect - if you book soon.
