Look at that beauty. All the style and swagger one would expect from a sea-faring vessel that ferries more than 17,000 passengers between downtown and the North Shore each and every weekday. Not to mention the 11-15,000 daily riders on weekends!

Whether it be an Otter, the Pacific Breeze or the now retired Beaver, SeaBus vessels have been sailing the Burrard inlet since June 17, 1977 and we think that deserves not only a mention but a big ol’ party!

DID YOU KNOW?!?
In 2016, there were 5.9 million SeaBus boardings!
