About this crossing

Although the Sunshine Coast is part of the mainland, mountains and inlets leave it with no road link to the rest of British Columbia, so drivers from Vancouver reach Gibsons, Sechelt and Highway 101 by this ferry. Transport Canada rules normally require passengers to leave vehicles parked on an enclosed lower deck, but on this crossing you may stay in your car for the whole sailing, whichever deck it is on. Vehicle space can be booked; individual foot passengers cannot book and buy their tickets at the terminal. At extreme high or low tides, vehicles with very low clearance or a long rear overhang, such as some buses and RVs, may be held for a later sailing at either end.
