About the Marina/CMS – Jegba Marina Badagry/Commando Jetty crossing
Thirty nautical miles, two hours, and one departure a day at 06:00. This is a different order of journey from the short lagoon hops around Lagos: the run west from Marina CMS down to Badagry covers a distance most of the city’s water routes would consider a full day’s work, and it runs Monday to Saturday.
Six in the morning is the whole service
There is one sailing, and it leaves before dawn for much of the year. Nothing later exists on this pairing, so the journey is a commitment rather than an option — the return has to be found on a separate timetable before the outbound is worth taking.
Why anyone would spend two hours on it
The road west out of Lagos towards the Benin border is one of the most congested corridors in the country. Two hours on the water is competitive with it and, unlike the road, predictable — which is the argument for every scheduled service on this lagoon.
Six days a week, and a long plan
The listed schedule runs to 21 April 2027, an unusually long validity for a route of this kind. Sunday is the one day with nothing at all.
