SEATTLE, Wash. (March 25, 2026) – Harbour Air is relaunching its Seattle-Vancouver seaplane service on April 13, giving Pacific Northwest travelers a direct, downtown-to-downtown connection between two of the region's most visited cities ahead of a landmark summer season.

The route connects Seattle's Lake Union terminal with Coal Harbour in downtown Vancouver in approximately one hour – no airport, no ferry line, no driving. The service runs twice daily, with one-way fares starting from C$149.

Whether it's a weekend on Vancouver's seawall, an afternoon exploring historic Gastown, or a connection to the broader British Columbia coast, the service puts one of Canada's most vibrant cities within easy reach of Seattle travelers.

"The Seattle-Vancouver route has been one of our strongest seasonal services, and we're thrilled to bring it back for 2026," said Chris Fordyce, Chief Commercial Officer, Harbour Air. "It gives travelers something no other service offers: a true downtown-to-downtown connection between two of the Pacific Northwest's most iconic destinations. With both cities expecting record visitor numbers this summer, we're ready to make cross-border travel easier than ever."

With both cities set to welcome a significant influx of national and international visitors throughout June and July, the service provides a critical and convenient transit link. Vancouver and Seattle will host a combined 13 matches at BC Place and Lumen Field throughout the summer, bringing tens of thousands of visitors to the region.

“Harbour Air's relaunched summer route between Seattle's Lake Union and Vancouver arrives at an ideal moment, as both Northwest cities prepare to welcome scores of visitors for a landmark summer of international football,” Michael Woody, Chief Engagement Officer at Visit Seattle, said. “The service offers exciting and direct regional connectivity between two premier host cities, showcasing our natural beauty while making it easier for fans to expand their trips to multiple stops throughout the season.”

New Direct Service to Victoria's Inner Harbour

Also new this summer, Harbour Air is launching its inaugural Victoria-Seattle service on June 11. The approximately 30-minute flight connects Seattle's Lake Union terminal to Victoria's Inner Harbour – a walkable, unhurried destination on Vancouver Island known for extraordinary whale-watching, world-class culinary experiences, and British Columbia's stunning natural beauty.

The new route offers Seattle travelers direct access to Vancouver Island without the need to route through Vancouver, opening up one of the Pacific Northwest's most visited destinations with once-daily service and fares starting from C$149.
