RBC GranFondo
Horseshoe Bay Sailings
Saturday, September 12, 2026

The RBC GranFondo Whistler cycling event from downtown Vancouver to Whistler will take place on Saturday, September 12. Traffic modifications will be in effect for customers travelling through the Horseshoe Bay terminal before 9:30 am on that day.

Customers planning to travel on sailings departing Horseshoe Bay on the morning of Saturday, September 12, please note that Westbound Highway 1 and northbound Highway 99 traffic will be rerouted via Exit 2 to Old Highway 99, also known as Horseshoe Bay Drive, and will re-enter northbound Highway 99 at Pasco Road.

The detour will be in effect from 5:30 am to 10:30 am. We suggest customers allow enough travel time to arrive at the terminal before the scheduled sailing of their choice.

For customers travelling on sailings that arrive at Horseshoe Bay terminal before 9:00 am on September 12, traffic leaving Horseshoe Bay will be rerouted to Marine Drive through West Vancouver from 5:30 am to 9:00 am.

Eastbound heavy trucks travelling between Horseshoe Bay, Taylor Way, and southbound Highway 99 will be redirected to a temporary holding area in Horseshoe Bay from 5:30 am to 9:00 am.

Heavy trucks will not be permitted on Marine Drive through West Vancouver during this period and may re-enter Highway 1 after the eastbound lanes reopen.

BC Ferries wishes all the participants success in the RBC GranFondo Whistler event. For further information about the revised traffic patterns, visit RBCGranfondo.

Service notice - Terminal Project Work - Crofton - September 2026 to Summer 2027

Posted:   Thursday, April 16, 2026

Reissued: Thursday, September 3, 2026

Lay-by Berth and Trestle Life Extension Project 
Crofton (Vancouver Island)
September 2026 to Summer 2027

As part of our ongoing commitment to maintain safe and reliable terminal facilities, construction work at Crofton terminal continues.

To support critical construction activities and key project milestones, the last round-trip sailing between Crofton and Vesuvius Bay will be cancelled Sunday through Thursday from October 18, 2026 until December 10, 2026.

Cancelling the final sailing each evening will give crews more time to complete important construction work while reducing impacts to customers travelling during the day. During this period, a passenger-only water taxi service will be available to maintain travel between the communities.

This project includes construction of a new lay-by berth, as well as repairs and upgrades to the existing berth and trestle structures. These improvements will support the introduction of a two-ship service anticipated in 2027, enhancing safety, reliability, and service capacity on the route.

While much of the project's preliminary work has taken place during daytime hours, upcoming phases will require overnight construction activities. Customers and nearby residents may notice increased activity and periodic noise as work progresses. Every effort will be made to minimize disruption and complete the work safely and efficiently.

Additional adjustments to terminal operations or sailing schedules may be required as construction continues. We will communicate any impacts as early as possible and thank customers and the community for their patience while these important improvements are underway.

For more information, please visit our BC Ferries project page. Customers are encouraged to subscribe for ongoing project updates.

Thank you to our customers and neighbours for your patience and understanding as we complete this important terminal project.
