Service notice - Tidal Conditions - Buses, RVs, and Low Bed Vehicles

Posted:   Thursday, June 06, 2024

Updated: Tuesday, September 30, 2025

Tidal Conditions
Quathiaski Cove (Quadra Island) –
Campbell River (Vancouver Island)

Due to tidal conditions between Quathiaski Cove (Quadra Island) and Campbell River (Vancouver Island), some buses, RVs, low bed vehicles and other vehicles (with very low ground clearance or extended overhangs on the rear axle) may be asked to wait for a later sailing, to ensure the safety of the vehicle, the vessel, and the environment during times of extremely low or high tides.

Tides that are below 4 feet or higher than 12 feet change the angle the ferry approaches the loading ramp, and during these times some vehicles are likely to get stuck on the ramp.

To reduce the risk of damage to vehicles, vessels and the environment, crew may ask some vehicles to board at a time when tides allow them to load on and off the vessel safely.

You can check future tidal conditions here: https://tides.gc.ca/en/stations/08074

We regret any inconvenience this may cause and thank customers in advance for their cooperation. Our crew will work to get you to your destination as quickly as possible, when it is safe to do so.
