Chi Cheemaun Ferry Schedule and Travel Information

The Chi Cheemaun Ferry is a popular mode of transportation between Tobermory and South Baymouth. It's a 55-minute journey that takes you through the beautiful waters of Georgian Bay.

The ferry operates from mid-May to mid-October, with a limited schedule during the off-season. You can check the exact dates and times on the Ontario Parks website.

As you plan your trip, keep in mind that the ferry is a seasonal service, so be sure to check the schedule before heading out. It's a good idea to book your tickets in advance, especially during peak season.

The Chi-Cheemaun ferry service between Tobermory and South Baymouth will begin its sailing season as scheduled, on Friday, May 6.

The regular season is scheduled to start May 6 with the ship's 8:50 am departure from Tobermory bound for South Baymouth.

If you're planning to take your vehicle, make a reservation once you have confirmed bookings, and be at the departure parking lot 1-hour prior to sailing.

Walk-on passengers can arrive 10-minutes before departure time, giving you just enough time to grab a bite or do some last-minute shopping before boarding.

Repairs to the ship have been carried out since the fire occurred on March 12, and the OSTC is working diligently to have the vessel ready to enter service as scheduled.

The ship is still in dry dock in Thunder Bay, but it may sail to Owen Sound before heading to Tobermory, depending on the decision made by the OSTC.

The Sault locks are now open, allowing the Chi-Cheemaun to make its way to Owen Sound and begin the season as planned.
