Victoria Harbour Ferry Co Ltd

The Victoria Harbour Ferry Company was founded in 1990 with just two ferry boats. Today we own and operate a fleet of 14 small passenger ferries that sail the waters around Victoria, B.C.'s Inner Harbour and the neighboring Selkirk and Gorge Waterways. All but one of our ferry boats were built on Vancouver Island, all can travel at speeds of up to 7 knots (12.5 kilometers per hour or 8 miles per hour) and can carry up to 12 passengers plus the Skipper. Several of our little ferry boats have traveled a distance the equivalent of one and half times around the equator without ever having left our harbour. Over the years we have carried over 1.5 million passengers and have become Victoria's Number One Tourist Attraction. In addition to our fleet of 'pickle boats' we operate a 40 passenger Tour and Charter vessel used for larger groups and events on our harbour waters.
