BC Ferry Spirit of Vancouver Island epected to return 10 Nov 021

Reduced Vancouver - Victoria  Ferry Service Almost Over

Issues with the gear box on the large Spirit of Vancouver Island ferry resulted in a need for unexpected drydock servicing on 28 Seprember.

For over a month passengers travelling between Vancouver & Victoria experienced long wait times and packed ferries as repairs tp the Spirit vessel were completed.
Happily both wait times and limited ferry should both return to normal the week of 10 November when the Spirit of Vancouver Island ferry ris welcomed back into service.

The updated ferry schedule will see the Mainland ferries departing from both the Vancouver & Victoria sides on the odd hour, beginning at 7AM every day.  This schedule should meet with happy Rememberance Day & ThanksGiving travellers.

For information on Ferry Reservations for the Island please call 1-250-3811404

ACCURATE VEHICLE DETAILS ARE ESSENTIAL TO SECURE ACCURATE FERRY OR BARGE PRICING

DO NOT QUESS at Vehicle Dimensions or Descriptions;

Costs for transporting a vehicle either by ferry or by barge, are always based on the vehicle type, length, height and width.
Do not guess.
Accurate dimensions can be found by going to Google and entering the year, make and model of any vehicle. 
Google usually provides  vehicle dimensions in inches which must then be divided by 12 to get the accurate foot length.
If the wrong vehicle description is provided for a either a quote or a booking, the cost will change to reflect the accurate vehicle description and dimensions.  Often a guess is undersized & nothing is worse than getting a call to say you owe +++ dollars because on arrival at the terminal or yard, the vehicle does not match the quote and money is owed.

If unsure of the accuracy of your measurements or description, email us at info@ferrytravel.com or call us at 1-800-686-0446
