The Aquabus

The Aquabus, also known as Aquabus Ferries Ltd., is a privately owned and operated ferry service that provides commuter and sightseeing services[1] to locations all along False Creek of central Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

[2][3] The beginning of ferry service throughout False Creek occurred in the summer of 1979 when Brian and Laura Beesley began operating a tour and water taxi service around Granville Island and False Creek.

[1] It has since grown along with the population surrounding False Creek.

[8] In mid-2008, one of the Benford ferries was converted to a fully electric propulsion system and was used as a test platform for Aquabus' exploration of alternative energy.

The Aquabus Ferry Company fleet is currently composed of fourteen vessels,[9] divided into two classes: The Aquabus Ferry Company makes scheduled stops at the following locations:
