Victoria Express

2010 marks the 20th sailing season for the Victoria Express fleet. Over the past two decades hundreds of thousands of tourists from around the world have sailed Victoria Express across the Strait of Juan de Fuca section of the Salish Sea to Victoria BC taking advantage of the “Two Nation Vacation.”

If you ask our typical passenger why they choose Victoria Express they will tell you about the fast 55 minute crossing. Victoria Rapid Transit was formed in 1990 after receiving requests from summer tourists seeking a faster ferry service connecting Port Angeles with Victoria BC. The newly formed passenger-only ferry service reduced both the sailing time and the wait time through customs. We started our service with the Victoria Express, a 100’ vessel accommodating up to 149 passengers and expanded with the addition of the Victoria Express II, enabled us to expand sailing services from Port Angeles to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island via Victoria BC.

A shuttle van was eventually added to the fleet to bring local tourist lodging in Port Angeles hotels to and from the ferry terminal. Both Victoria Express vessels are also available for charter and specialize in private and corporate group events.
