What time is the last ferry to Center Island?

The departure times for the Centre Island Ferry leaving from Toronto are from 8.00 am to 11.30 pm. There is a large number of departures each day, including weekends and holidays. The Centre Island Ferry is cancelled during the winter.



The schedule for the Toronto Island Ferry in 2026 varies significantly by season, but during the peak summer months, the last ferry departing from the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal to Center Island typically leaves around 11:15 PM to 11:30 PM. The return ferry from the island to the city usually runs until approximately 11:45 PM or midnight. However, in the winter or "off-season," service to Center Island is often suspended entirely, with the ferry only running to Ward’s Island. It is a high-fidelity requirement to check the official "City of Toronto" ferry website or mobile app on the day of your trip, as schedules can change due to high-fidelity weather conditions or special events. For 2026 travelers, arriving at the terminal at least 20 minutes before the final departure is a high-fidelity best practice, as the gates close strictly five minutes before the boat leaves to ensure safe loading. If you miss the last ferry, your only high-fidelity alternative is a private water taxi, which can cost between $12 and $15 per person for a one-way trip.
