Spirit of Dave McInnes

False Creek Ferries, a division of Granville Island Ferries Ltd, is a privately owned and operated ferry service that operates on False Creek near downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The False Creek Ferry fleet has grown from the four electric ferries that formed the company to a fleet that now consists of 17 ferries divided into three classes; the 20-passenger Balfry class, the 12-passenger Spirit class, and the open-deck Novel class. The service operates every day of the year, except Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

 

The "Spirit Class" comprises seven 12-passenger ferries designed by marine architect Jay Benford expressly for False Creek Ferries. Each vessel is 20 feet long, with a beam of eight feet, and draws two feet of water. Their maximum speed is about six knots.
