Île Verte* (Green Island) is one of the very few islands of the St. Lawrence that is inhabited year-round. The island is offshore from the village of L’Isle-Verte, in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region.

From late April to mid-November, visitors in search of peace and tranquility can board the M/V Peter Fraser, which will take them to the island in under 30 minutes.

Depending on what you’re planning to do on the island, you can board the ferry by car, by bike or on foot.
The M/V La Peter Fraser can accommodate up to 70 passengers, 12 vehicles and 20 bicycles. It’s been in operation since 2013 and was designed and built in Québec. It is the first in North America to use a green diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system, which means no greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, since the bow and the stern are identical, the ferry doesn’t have to turn around for each trip.
Reservations are highly recommended if you want to travel with your car. The ferry schedule is dependent on the tides, so inquire about the times of departure before you set off.
