What time is the last ferry to Centre 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 last ferry to Centre Island depends heavily on the season and the specific day of the week. During the winter season (which includes February 2026), ferry service to Centre Island is often suspended or significantly reduced, with most traffic diverted to Ward’s Island. If the Centre Island ferry is running, the last return trip typically departs between 8:00 PM and 11:00 PM depending on whether it is a weekday or weekend. However, for Ward's Island (which serves the residential community year-round), the last ferry from the city usually departs at 11:30 PM, with the final return from the island at 11:55 PM. Because the schedule is subject to "ice conditions" and weather-related changes in early 2026, travelers should always check the live Toronto Island Ferry schedule on the City of Toronto website before heading to the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal.
