The 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. sailings out of Swartz Bay to Tsawwassen all reached capacity Sunday, which is “pretty unusual,” said B.C. Ferries
Foot passengers on B.C. Ferries may want to make reservations during peak times this summer after three sailings reached capacity Sunday, leading to waits for walk-on passengers.The capacity limits of the full sailings weren’t available Monday, but 14,365 people travelled out of Swartz Bay to Tsawwassen during the day, which included 4,013 people travelling as foot passengers.The busiest long weekend for foot passengers is Thanksgiving, when many students travel home for the weekend, she said.
B.C. Ferries allocates approximately 50 foot passenger bookings per sailing. Foot passenger space is 100 per cent reservable on some routes, including between the Southern Gulf Islands and Tsawwassen. From now until mid-August is “peak of peak season,” for ferry travel, and anyone hoping to avoid sailing waits as a foot passenger is advised to make a reservation, Johnston said.
Johnston said it was unsurprising that the weekend saw ferries reach capacity, as the Coastal Celebration remains out of operation as it undergoes repairs, resulting in a daily loss of eight sailings.
