       TORONTO ISLAND FERRY & PUBLIC TRANSIT SERVICE

To get to the regatta on Toronto Island, all boats, trailers, and participants must take the ferry boat to the Island.

The Toronto Island Ferry service leaves the City and docks on the Island at Hanlan’s Point, Centre Island and Ward’s Island. The regatta is being held on Centre Island. The Mainland Ferry Terminal, located at the Bay Street & Queen’s Quay West intersection, is a ten minute-walk from Union Station. The Harbourfront L.R.T. leaves Union Station frequently and stops at Queen’s Quay Island Ferry Dock stop.

Public transit to the Ferry Terminal includes the Bay 6 bus and the Harbourfront LRT. 

Abundant user-pay parking can be found nearby. Bicycles may be taken on the ferry. Although some restrictions apply during peak periods. 

Passengers should take the Centre Island Ferry. It is advised that passengers get the earliest ferry on July 1st. The DDRA will request a 7:30 AM ferry, and it is possible that such a ferry will be scheduled. If not, the first ferry will be 8:00 AM on July 1st. Later ferries become very crowded and the wait times can vary. Ferries returning to the City leave at 15-minute intervals from the Centre Island terminal. See Ferry Schedule.
