Ferry Toronto
The Jack Layton Ferry Terminal is conveniently located at 9 Queens Quay West and is easily accessible by public transit. The 509 and 510 streetcars provide direct connections from Union Station to the terminal, making it unnecessary to drive and deal with expensive downtown parking. The terminal features washrooms, ticket machines, and separate lines for pre-purchased ticket holders.
Weather considerations can occasionally affect ferry service, particularly during severe storms or high water levels. Safety is the top priority, and services may be temporarily suspended during dangerous conditions. Visitors should check current ferry status before traveling, especially during winter months or severe weather warnings.
Ferry maintenance and fleet management ensure reliable service throughout the operating season. The Toronto Transit Commission oversees ferry operations with a fleet of five vessels, including the heritage vessel Trillium for special occasions. Regular maintenance schedules may occasionally affect service, with advance notice provided to passengers.
Photography opportunities abound during ferry crossings and island visits, with spectacular views of Toronto’s skyline from the water. The ferry ride provides unique vantage points for capturing the city’s architecture and waterfront. Islands offer diverse photo locations from beaches and gardens to historic lighthouse and village scenes.
Seasonal attractions vary throughout the year, with summer offering full access to all amenities and winter providing unique experiences. Spring and fall feature moderate crowds and pleasant weather for island exploration. Each season brings different natural beauty and recreational opportunities for ferry passengers to discover.
Toronto Island events throughout the year include concerts, festivals, and special celebrations that enhance the island experience.

Ward’s Island features charming local eateries, while Hanlan’s Point offers picnic facilities and seasonal food services.
Historical significance of Toronto Island ferries dates back to 1833 with the first crossing by “Sir John of the Peninsula.” The Toronto Ferry Company operated services until 1926 when the City of Toronto purchased the fleet. This rich maritime heritage continues today with modern vessels serving the same essential transportation function.
Seasonal operations affect ferry service throughout the year, with full service to all three islands from spring through fall. Summer brings the highest frequency of departures and the longest operating hours to accommodate peak tourist season. Winter service is limited to Ward’s Island only, as Centre Island attractions close and weather conditions may affect access to Hanlan’s Point.
