For customers with bookings on cancelled sailings, every effort will be made to accommodate bookings on the next available sailing. If we are unable to accommodate, bookings will be cancelled and fully refunded. Travel will revert to standby basis.

The safety of our passengers and crew is of primary importance to us. We don’t take the decision to cancel sailings lightly, as we know customers rely on us to get to their destinations. We will resume service as soon as it is safe to do so.  We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience experienced as a result of these cancellations.

With the passage of the cold front today, southerly winds gusting to 60 km/h this morning will shift to west or northwest winds near noon. These winds will be strongest near the water, with gusts up to 90 km/h possible. For areas away from the water, gusty winds are still possible but are not expected to be as strong. Winds will ease early this evening as the frontal system moves further inland.

Additionally, Highway 1 on Vancouver Island is experience flooding in both directions, and as a result traffic has increased on our Brentwood Bay - Mill Bay route.  See DriveBC for more details.
