About the Campbell River – Quadra Island (Quathiaski Cove) crossing
29 sailings a day from Campbell River on Vancouver Island across to Quathiaski Cove on Quadra Island — one of the busiest short crossings in the BC Ferries network.
Two ships, both named in Kwak'wala
The route is worked by Island K'ulut'a and Island Nagalis. Running a pair on a single short hop is what produces the frequency: neither vessel has to turn round instantly, and the interval stays tight through the day.
No booking, no queue system
Quadra is not on the list of routes where deck space can be reserved in advance. Everyone drives up and boards in order of arrival, which on a service this frequent works better than it sounds — a missed sailing costs minutes, not hours.
Operator
BC Ferries runs 37 vessels across 47 terminals on the British Columbia coast.
