The ferry service is run by Alpine, check their website for information or call them at (250) 474-5145. Off hours service is available from Eco Cruising.

As of August 2001 Alpine was not offering service to Portland Island but were keeping a list of interested parities in order to guage interest for a possible future expansion of the service. In 2011 we learned that EcoCrusing is now offering the service to Portland Island.
