There is no shortage of adventure for all aboard the historic Plover passenger ferry.
The 81-year-old ferry, once transporting Alaska Packers Association workers between Semiahmoo Spit and Blaine Harbor, now caters to tourists and locals alike seeking a leisurely ride between those same destinations in the summer months.
Drayton Harbor Maritime restored the ferry in the ‘90s and sold it to the city, its new operator, for $1.
The Plover runs from noon to 7:30 p.m. Friday through Sunday every week through Labor Day Weekend. It departs from Gate 2 at Blaine Harbor on the hour and departs from Semiahmoo on the half-hour.
One-way tickets cost $6 for adults and children over 11 years old, $2 for children ages 2-10 years old, and tickets are free for children under 2 years old.
New this year, the city has implemented an online ticketing system as it no longer accepts cash for rides. To purchase tickets, visit blainebythesea.com.
