Efficient and pleasant. Just make sure to go straight to the main deck if you want a booth and table. They let pedestrians on first and travelers with cars get stuck with the seats without a view .

Love the advanced reservation option and round trip ticketing! Dog friendly vessel too

BC ferries could learn about hospitality and friendliness and good simple food value from these guys

This place is a lucrative operation. If you're going to Victoria from Seattle, look up schedules and fares first! I suggest taking the WSF route that lands in Sydney BC via the San Juans.

We got here early because people warned us that on a summer weekend it would be busy. We got to the dock at 5:30 (an hour before they open) and we were the only ones there until after 6:00.

Be ready to leave your car. Unlike other ferries you're not allowed on the car deck while sailing .

People say the chowder is Ivar’s . I’m not so sure.

Get in line early to snag a table. Diner has great clam chowder if you're hungry.

Go on the Coho (last of the Black Ball line ) & stand at Fire Station #13 during rough water - least amount of swaying in that spot!!

Great ferry service

The view ! Wow!

Get there early to have your pick of tables.

Headed to Victoria BC!!

two 4 one passenger tickets. Season begins again May 2011? today until 4pm Only!!

Ask about their Fall & Winter travel packages...

Try the Ivar 's Clam Chowder !

Make sure you know this is for passengers ONLY!! We drove 5 hours to find we had registered our vehicle for nothing. Refund was only 80%. :(
