A passenger-only ferry service using high-speed catamarans between Nanaimo and downtown Vancouver will begin service next summer vows the private company behind the venture.
Customers will be able to reserve seats in different classes and the system will accommodate walk-on passengers, he said. Most details about the two-ferry service and the vessels themselves will be released in the spring, he said.“Islanders and mainlanders have been asking for a modern, fast and cost-effective way to travel between the Island and Vancouver,” said Caddick. “We are so excited to be bringing forward an essential transportation service to the region and are committed to its long-term success.”
The new service is to run between Nanaimo Port Authority’s terminal and the Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre, at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
