OUR HISTORY

Victoria Harbour Ferry is the fastest and most convenient way to get around Victoria’s Inner Harbour, whether you’re commuting to work or visiting the city for the first time. Our happy little boats have been connecting locals and visitors to Victoria’s waterfront neighbourhoods, parks and communities for almost 30 years. Founded in 1990 with just two ferry boats, we have since expanded to a team of over 50 seasonal and full-time crew members and have carried more than four million passengers.

Take a walk with us down memory lane and see for yourself why Victoria Harbour Ferry is one of the city’s most treasured attractions.

FIRST WATER BALLET

When the harbour ferries were originally brought to Victoria in 1990, the Skippers were amazed at their maneuverability. Taking inspiration from the world famous RCMP Musical Ride, they set out to test their abilities by creating a synchronized performance and the Water Ballet was born!
