Water-based transportation has many fringe benefits: you get an unlimited supply of fresh air, a deck-side view of breathtaking scenery not accessible by land and a high probability of spotting marine wildlife.
BC Ferries is the primary provider of ferry service in the province. They offer scheduled passenger and vehicle service to almost 50 ports of call along BC's coastline. Smaller regional ferry operators service remote local and lakeside communities and are quick and economical.
Popular marine crossings occur between the mainland and Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, as well as the Sunshine Coast, an inlet-studded stretch of coastal mainland not accesible by road. In Northern BC, ferry service includes the Inside Passage, which links Vancouver Island and the region, and to Haida Gwaii, an isolated archipelago of islands.

BC Ferries
BC Ferries offers more than transportation from Point A to B: ocean-view dining, comfortable seating, kids' playrooms, movie lounges, plus some routes with Wi-Fi and spa services mean a more cruise-like adventure.
Crossings range from 90 minutes between the mainland and Vancouver Island to the 15-hour Inside Passage journey and vary by season: be sure to check in advance for summer and winter schedules. Reservations may be required for some crossings (and on holidays).
For a complete list of routes, schedules and terminals, visit BC Ferries.
