About the Number 3 (Ajegunle) Waterside – Boundary/Number 3 Waterside crossing
Four sailings a day, Monday to Saturday, from 05:00 to 19:00. The crossing takes 5 minutes, and our record carries no measured distance for it — which on the Lagos lagoon usually means the two landings are close enough that the figure was never recorded rather than that it is unknown.
A five o'clock start
The first departure goes before dawn for much of the year. On a community route with four sailings that hour is the anchor: it exists so that people can reach work on the far side, and everything else in the timetable follows from it.
Fourteen hours, four boats
From five in the morning to seven at night with four departures means gaps of four or five hours. There is no turning up and waiting a few minutes here; the boat sets the shape of the day.
Six days a week
Nothing runs on Sunday. The listed plan holds to 21 April 2027, in line with the rest of the Lagos waterways network, where schedules are published for long periods rather than reissued seasonally.
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.
