BC Ferries will be adding extra sailings for the summer season beginning this Friday.
The seasonal adjustments to sailing times means, among other things, there will be a 6:25 sailing in both directions daily between Horseshoe Bay and Departure Bay.
Three ships will service the route, and deliver up to 24 sailings per day.
Between Tsawwassen and Duke Point, beginning on June 26th, two vessels will provide 16 sailings per day.
On the Horseshoe Bay to Langdale route, a second dedicated vessel will provide extra sailings throughout the summer season.
The most popular travel times during the summer are generally Thursday and Friday afternoons, and Saturday morning.
Sunday afternoon is the most popular time for people to return from Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast.
To avoid sailing waits, BC Ferries is recommending customers reserve, or travel outside those times.
The changes will affect the Sunshine Coast Transit schedule as well.
Route 1 Langdale Ferry/Sechelt and route 90, the Langdale Ferry/Sechelt Express, will be affected.
There will also be some tweaks made to the schedules for routes 2 West Sechelt, 3, the Sechelt Arena and for route 4, that services Halfmoon Bay.
