About the Kirikiri – Jegba Marina Badagry/Commando Jetty crossing
Twenty-six nautical miles, one departure a day at 06:30, Monday to Saturday. This is one of the long runs on the Lagos network, heading west from Kirikiri towards Badagry near the Benin border — a journey the road covers far more slowly at almost any hour.
An hour and five minutes
The passage is timetabled at 65 minutes, which for the distance means the boat is moving at a fair pace rather than threading landings. On a route this long the timing is the product rather than the frequency.
One boat, six days
There is no second departure and nothing at all on Sunday. A single early sailing means the outbound and the return are one decision, and the return runs on its own schedule from the far end.
A long-dated plan
The listed schedule holds to 21 April 2027. Lagos waterway timetables are issued for long periods, so a departure confirmed here is more stable than a seasonal ferry listing would be.
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.
