Reviews of Marine Atlantic - Channel-Port aux Basques Ferry Terminal (Golf)

Horia Andresan

Always a pleasant experience. Clean spaces, decent food options even with restrictions in place and friendly staff. Learned this trip that booking a cabin is a good idea whether day or night crossing.

The ferryboat ride was way pricey at over $330 Canadian dollars for one senior and one adult and NO bunk. We left at 11:15 p.m. and I had to sleep on the floor. That ruined my next day's activities. The photo is leaving the port in Sydney mines Nova Scotia and headed for Newfoundland.

Good experiences 2x I've traveled on Ferry as I have traveled to my furthest point in St. John's, New Fondland, Canada been fortunate from worst weather related delays..... Overall through Covid restrictions it was a pleasant experience.... Elvis Hernandez

Crossing was great! Staff were polite and professional. The rooms were clean. Unfortunately the gift store and restaurants were all closed due to covid. We'll come back in a few years and see them and taste the food. We got on the waiting list at the last moment for a cabin coming back and got one. We felt like we won the lottery!

Amazing trip. My trip should be on 22Dec at 11:45 am. But we received a call from the staff on 21 Dec 19:00 to tell me that the ferry on 22 Dec was canceled due to high wind. And 22 Dec 23:45 ferry will delay to 04:00. And we can go before 2:00 am. But we have no cabin from the change. But we are enjoying our cabin when we return. Very great experience. Very surprised that you should shower on the ferry. Thank you to all staff who work hard there.

Amazing experience with having a room. Wish the gift shop was open though, tv in the room was very difficult and hard to use but we had tablets so no issue

Service was more than excellent on the Vision! Staff were extremely helpful and happy! Even observed 1 staff member going above and beyond to help a young family traveling! Great to know there are still people like this that care about others! And take pride in their work! Kudos to that man!

Was scammed out of $150. I left terminal to grab a bite to eat because there is no restaurant at the terminal. When I checked in there was no mention of an additional crossing. I gave my phone number with my ID and it was written on my manifest. Some manager decided to extort an additional $150 because they could not reach me saying they didn't have my number. Pretty sad I need to pay for Marine Atlantic mistakes. Thanks for making the crossing more expensive. Almost $900. Would really help to have food service as well.

My family and I travelled from Sydney to Port aux basques on this ferry. It was a good experience, quick and easy. I do suggest showing up extra early so you can be on the boat first and leave first off the boat when docking. The cabins are comfortable and they have wheelchair accessible rooms and elevators. There is a small restaurant to get food and you can go out on the rooftop of the boat and watch the beautiful scenery. I'd definitely book early if you want to get the date you want to cross over on as the spots book up fast. Overall a great experience and the staff is always helpful.

The ferry itself was fine and well maintained. The restaurant, cafe, and bar are all closed on board "due to covid" (seems to be everyone's excuse for cutting services these days). For your 7h/15h ferry ride your options for food are limited to pizza, paninis and soup of the day. There is Wi-Fi on board, but you will have difficulty even loading a basic web page on your mobile. Pack food and pre-download some podcasts or Netflix for your trip!

Great experience and an a very helpful staff. Hope to be able to come back soon.

Day crossing is no fun at all. Long time to sit and wait seats are comfortable and staff is good and do the best they can. Good service is limited, but acceptable, pizza was good and fresh. All together, it was a good trip, but I still prefers night crossings. Well done!

Took the noon ferry from Sydney to Port aux Basques. We had reclining seats and could unmask once seated. We could move about to go on deck etc. There was no internet or TV. There are chargers for devices on each seat. The crossing was smooth and the time passed easily.
