BC Ferries transports vehicles, pedestrians, cargo and visitors to and from North and South Pender Islands. There are a couple BC Ferry routes connecting visitors to Pender Island. One route leaves from Long Harbour on Saltspring Island, another from Swartz Bay in Sidney (north of Victoria) and another from the Tsawwassen Terminal in Vancouver on the mainland of British Columbia.

All BC Ferry Routes vary in travel time. Some routes are as short as 40 minutes while others can be as long as 2 hours by the time you unload on Pender. It is because some routes are designated as direct routes while other scheduled routes take more time as they are indirect routes making stops at Galiano and Mayne Islands.

Port Browning and Bedwell Harbour marinas operate on Pender Island for recreational boats, sailboats and ocean cruisers
