Our vessels are often described as charming, with most carrying only 12 passengers. Despite their modest size, our fleet of 20 ferryboats works collectively as a highly efficient transportation network. During off-peak periods, ferries operate at regular, scheduled intervals so passengers know when to expect the next arrival. At peak times, service frequency more than doubles, with ferries departing every 2 to 6 minutes. On busy weekends, one of the comments we hear most often is, " thought I’d have to wait longer, but the line moved very quickly."

False Creek Ferries is a family-owned company providing public transportation at a human scale. We were the original company to establish ferry service to Granville Island more than 40 years ago. All crew members are Transport Canada certified and represent a diverse range of backgrounds, from college students on summer break to semi-retired professionals with decades of experience. We take pride in building lasting relationships with our passengers, many of whom have been riding with us for years. Our goal is to deliver efficient, reliable service while offering an enjoyable and memorable experience, and to remain an active, contributing member of the community.
