About this crossing

Every car space and seat on the Tsawwassen–Gulf Islands boats can be booked ahead, apart from roughly 5 to 10 vehicle spaces kept for emergencies such as police or utility crews and released to standby travellers when unused. Many sailings to Village Bay call at Galiano's Sturdies Bay first. Some of the options shown for Mayne are thru-fare connections through Swartz Bay, which use two ferries and take up to about five hours, against around 70 minutes for the quickest direct boat. Our booking guide explains BC Ferries' fare types.
