Your Link To Our Island Neighbourhoods
Dear passengers, our summer inter-island run is temporarily suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic. We will resume service once we have approval from the ministry of health that we can transport tourists and residents for non-essential travel. Please check back on this website for updates or call us (250) 537-2510 for further information.
We look forward to having you onboard again when we resume our Saturday sailings between Salt Spring, Galiano, and Mayne Islands.
