Cortes Island (Whaletown) - Quadra Island (Heriot Bay) ,
Quadra Queen II –Modified Schedule Trials
Quadra Island – Cortes Island
Thursday February 16, 2023
The increased frequency of the two Island Class vessels operating between Campbell River and Quadra Island has provided BC Ferries with the opportunity to provide increased service between Quadra Island and Cortes Island. BC Ferries is currently evaluating the potential of providing seven round trips per day during the peak season, in place of the current six round trips.
To facilitate calibration of these potential schedule adjustments, BC Ferries will undertake time trials on the Quadra Island – Cortes Island route.
On Thursday, February 16, 2023, the Quadra Queen II will be testing the following modified schedule:
Departing Whaletown (Cortes Island)
7:50 am
9:25 am *
11:00 am *
1:05 pm *
2:40 pm *
4:15 pm *

10:15 am *
11:50 am *
1:55 pm *
3:30 pm *

* Modified departure times
The vessel will maximize its capacity over the day to accommodate as many vehicles and passengers as possible. We do not anticipate any delays that will affect the trial schedule, however, updates will be provided via Service Notices should delays occur.
