Horseshoe Bay first sail

I have an early morning sail from Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo in a few weeks - a Monday 6am (ish) departure on a non-holiday week. I already made my reservation, and paid for my tickets there and back.

What time should I get to the HSB terminal to be sure to get on? 4am? 5am?

I have not sailed from HSB since it started its construction project. Thanks for your advice.

I want to eat a vegan burger on the Sunshine Coast ferry

I take the ferry between horseshoe bay and langdale often and I'm feeling annoyed by the lack of hot food options for people who are vegan. I think i'm feeling inspired after eating their boring rice and bean burrito again! The veggie burger option has cheese in the patty so it excludes a large portion of people who don't eat meat. Seems like an easy switch, if the patty's vegan all vegetarians can eat it too! The ferry to Nanaimo has a vegan friendly patty so not sure why the sunshine coast ferry is different.

I guess i'm wondering if anyone is also annoyed by this? If so maybe we can start a petition or something, haha.

PS. I know I can pack my own food etc. and I often do, but sometimes a girl just wants a burger, ya know..

BC FERRIES AP and online

Using the app and a web browser… 19 minute wait in queue… no big - I got my mug of coffee…
Got to head of line in 15 minutes…
Booked all my details… then BOOM…
“Something went wrong…”
Back to the beginning…

Vaguely amusing… any other reports?

Wheelchair assistance

How early should a walk-on passenger arrive at the terminal if they need wheelchair assistance to board the ferry? Asking for a first-time ferry passenger who’s 85.

Walk on demand

Hello - ignorant inland Northern BC person here. I haven't been on a ferry for years. If I'm just walking on, without a vehicle. Is it necessary to book ahead for a Schwartz Bay to Tsawwassen ferry on a Friday evening? I'd like to be flexible with when I leave but also don't want head aches of not being allowed to board if it's full.
