About the David Lam Park – Granville Island Aquabus Ferry Dock crossing
Our data lists 07:08 and 07:37 — twenty-nine minutes between them. The operator states a maximum interval of fifteen minutes, which is the clearest possible evidence that these two are a sample rather than the timetable. Read them as the opening of the day.
What actually runs
Aquabus works False Creek from 07:00 to 23:00, seven days a week, at a frequency of a quarter of an hour or better. The crossing takes 5 minutes over 0.4 nautical miles.
Towards the island
This is the direction into Granville Island rather than out of it — the market, the workshops and the theatres are on the far side. Morning sailings carry people arriving; the evening traffic runs the other way.
Docks differ slightly
Exact first and last times vary by landing, so if your trip sits at either end of the operating day it is the dock rather than the route that needs checking.
