Excellent way to get around with great staff

These little ferries are a great way to get around all of the places along False Creek. You never wait more than about 10 minutes, the skippers are great and the prices are very reasonable.

Fun siversion for a 45 minute ferry ride

Very cute small ferries across the bay. Run frequently and very inexpensive a one-time go, and since they only take about 10 people, you can swap travel stories comfortably.

Quick route; good view

A local recommended we use this ferry to go from Granville Island back to the the downtown area and enjoy the quick view. Right outside the market, it is readily accessible and indeed the view was nice, even if the trip itself is quite short.

What form of payment do the take other than cash?

June 27, 2018|

AnswerShow all 12 answers

They accept credit cards (Visa and MasterCard) and debit cards at their Granville Island dock, this is a good point to start if you want round trip fares, I believe it’s cash only on the boat for journeys from other docks.
