Service notice - Sailing Delay

Posted:   Friday, December 05, 2025

Updated: 8:56 pm

Our 7:30 pm sailing from Tsawwassen (Vancouver) to Sturdies Bay (Galiano Island) departed 1 hour 25 minutes behind schedule as the vessel made an earlier unscheduled stop at Otter Bay (Pender Island) and Village Bay (Mayne Island) to accommodate traffic due to the alternate vessel on this route holding in dock.

The 8:35 pm departing Sturdies Bay, and the 9:10 pm departing Village Bay to Long Harbour (Salt Spring Island) will also be delayed, 

If you have a reservation on an upcoming sailing today, please arrive during the check-in window noted in your booking confirmation email to maintain your reserved status. This ensures we can stage your vehicle at the terminal ahead of standby customers and those reserved on later sailings.

For up-to-date sailing and departure information, visit bcferries.com, follow @BCFerries on X or phone 1-888-223-3779 for further assistance.
