About the Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay ferry
The Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay ferry is the flagship BC Ferries route between Metro Vancouver and Victoria, and by a wide margin the busiest crossing in the system. Summer weekends, long weekends, and Friday afternoons routinely see multiple sailing waits, so live capacity and current conditions matter more here than on any other route.
This page shows live BC Ferries current conditions for every scheduled sailing on this route today — vehicle-deck fill percentage, which sailings are already full, and which have room. Data refreshes every five minutes so you can decide whether to head to the terminal now or wait for a later sailing.
Reservations are strongly recommended on this crossing, especially in summer. The sailing takes about 1 hour 35 minutes through the Gulf Islands.
