Tsawwassen or Horseshoe Bay?
Choose the terminal from the sailing reservation first, then work backward from the recommended check-in time and expected road conditions.

How a Private Ferry Transfer Works
A ferry transfer is planned around the sailing time, check-in requirements, luggage and the exact pickup address rather than a generic departure window.
Confirm the Sailing
Provide the terminal, route and departure time shown on the ferry reservation.
Set the Pickup Time
Work backward for road travel, luggage loading and a reasonable traffic allowance.
Travel to the Terminal
Your private vehicle travels directly from the confirmed home, hotel, airport or ship pickup.
Walk-On Check-In
Allow enough time to unload luggage and reach the passenger check-in area before the cutoff.
Vehicle selection
Choose a Vehicle for Passengers and Ferry Luggage
Passenger capacity alone is not enough. Suitcases, carry-ons, mobility equipment and oversized items can change the best vehicle choice.
