About
About Mayne Island (Village Bay)
Mayne Island's terminal takes 69 active sailings and offers 12 parking spaces outside the gate. That ratio is the Southern Gulf Islands in one line: heavily served, and not somewhere to leave a car.
Where the ferries go
- Swartz Bay for Victoria — about 50 minutes, 19 sailings.
- Tsawwassen for Vancouver — about 1 hour 6 minutes, 13 sailings.
Operated by BC Ferries.
⚠ Only the Tsawwassen direction can be reserved
On the Southern Gulf Islands routes, reservations exist from Tsawwassen. Sailings from Swartz Bay and between the islands are first-come, first-served, and the reservation fee on the bookable leg is around $20.
That asymmetry is the single most useful thing to know here: book the mainland leg, arrive early for the Vancouver Island one.
Parking
Free parking outside the terminal — 12 spaces, 48-hour limit. Not a week-long option, and it fills on summer Fridays before the boat does.
Reading the route
Sailings from Tsawwassen often call at more than one island, so a listed 66-minute crossing can run considerably longer depending on where Mayne falls in the sequence. Check the calling order rather than only the departure time.
The island
Mayne is small, hilly and quiet, with Miners Bay as its centre — a name left from the 1858 Fraser Canyon gold rush, when boats stopped here on the way up. There is a lighthouse at Georgina Point and a farmers' market in summer.
Village Bay itself has the terminal and almost nothing else; the shops are a few minutes away by road.
