About the Jegba Marina Badagry/Commando Jetty – Kirikiri crossing
07:40, Monday to Saturday, and 65 minutes for 26 nautical miles. This is the return half of the western lagoon corridor: out from Badagry near the Benin border towards Kirikiri, an hour and five minutes at a pace the road cannot match at that time of day.
Ten minutes later than the outbound
The westbound sailing leaves Kirikiri at 06:30; this one leaves Badagry at 07:40. Roughly an hour apart, which is the boat turning round rather than a second vessel.
One departure, six days
Nothing later exists on this pairing and nothing on Sunday. A single morning sailing means the journey is a commitment made the night before rather than a decision taken on the day.
A long-dated plan
The listed schedule holds to 21 April 2027, in line with the rest of the network.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Passenger water buses
- Modern jetty terminals
- Licensed private ferries
- Life-jacket safety enforcement
Onboard facilities and vehicle, pet and luggage policies vary by operator and vessel; confirm details with the operator before booking.
