About the Eyin Osa – Epe Ayetoro Jetty crossing
0.6 nautical miles, and the timetable allows 20 minutes for it. Under two knots — the figure is not about the water, it is about loading, unloading and waiting for the boat to fill.
08:00 and 11:00, Monday to Saturday
Two departures three hours apart, six days a week. Sunday carries nothing.
A morning-only service
Both boats have gone by midday. Epe Ayetoro is a jetty on the Lekki lagoon east of Lagos, and the traffic it carries is the traffic that moves at the start of a day.
Valid to 21 April 2027
A twelve-month listing. Lagos-area waterway schedules are published in long blocks rather than reissued each season.
