About the Marina/CMS – Ogogoro Village crossing
Three sailings: 07:00 every day, then 10:00 and 16:00 Monday to Saturday. The crossing covers 1.5 nautical miles in 10 minutes from the Marina terminal in central Lagos out to Ogogoro.
One daily boat and two that skip Sunday
Only the seven o’clock departure runs all week. The other two follow the six-day pattern common across the Lagos network, where Sunday provision is thin almost everywhere.
A short hop from a busy terminal
Marina CMS is the hub from which routes run the length of the lagoon — including the two-hour run west to Badagry. This is the short end of the same terminal’s work: ten minutes to a community rather than an hour to another part of the state.
A long-dated plan
The listed schedule holds to 21 April 2027. Lagos waterway timetables are published for long periods, so these three departures represent a settled arrangement.
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.
