How to Use PenderFerry.ca
A quick guide to sailing information, service notices and ferry locations, all in one place.
Getting started
Look for “Next Sailing to Victoria” or “Next Sailing to Pender”.
If a delay is reported for your sailing, the Next Sailing box may show a warning based on BC Ferries information. Check Delays & Service Notices for additional official updates.
Scroll further down the page to see the complete ferry schedule. It helps you plan future sailings between Pender Island and Victoria.
What can I tap or click?
Tap a heading below to learn what each part of the site does.
⛴ Next Sailing to Victoria / Next Sailing to Pender
These two boxes display available information about the next sailing in each direction. Tap or click anywhere inside a box to open the corresponding BC Ferries departure and current-conditions information. Tap the ferry name inside the box to open tracking for that vessel instead.
Depending on what is available, the box may show sailing times, vessel details, operating status and estimated vehicle space. Vehicle space information is not available for Pender to Victoria sailings. Vehicle space shown for Victoria to Pender is an estimate, not a guarantee. Arrival times are scheduled times, not live estimates.
Delay warnings: When BC Ferries reports a delay affecting the sailing, the box may display a warning. If BC Ferries publishes an estimated delay, the warning may show the approximate number of minutes. Tap a linked warning to read the BC Ferries notice. A sailing without a warning is not guaranteed to depart on time.
Use the ↻ refresh button to check for updated sailing information. The boxes also refresh automatically, more frequently around departure time.
🗓 Ferry Schedule
The schedule graphic helps you plan departures between Pender Island and Victoria. Check the dates shown on the schedule and read any special notes.
Red departure times identify sailings with stops. The schedule shows planned service, not a guarantee that a sailing will run on time.
⚠ Delays & Service Notices
Check here for notices and disruptions that could affect your trip.
Tap All BC Ferries notices → to open the official BC Ferries notices page for further information. Always check official updates if your travel plans depend on a particular sailing.
⛴ Track a Ferry
Tap a ferry name to open its VesselFinder tracking page: Salish Raven, Queen of Cumberland, Salish Eagle or Salish Heron.
Our primary ferries are the Salish Raven and Queen of Cumberland. The Salish Eagle and Salish Heron may also serve the route.
Tracking shows a vessel's last reported location when available. Positions can be delayed, so the map does not guarantee where a ferry is at this exact moment or when it will arrive.
📷 Pender Island Terminal Webcam
Scroll to the Pender Island Terminal camera near the bottom of the homepage to see a view of the vehicle staging and lineup area. It can help you get a general sense of conditions at the terminal before travelling.
The camera view may not be live at every moment and cannot confirm vehicle space on a sailing or how long the wait will be.
✉ Send Feedback / Report a Website Problem
Use Feedback at the top of the live sailing information if the displayed details seem inaccurate. Use Report a Website Problem near the bottom of the page if a feature or link isn't working.
Both are email contact options. Including the sailing time and a brief description of the problem will help.
Good to know
It brings together useful travel information, but schedules, operating conditions, vehicle space and vessel positions can change. Delay notices may not appear immediately. For important decisions, rely on official BC Ferries updates.
