An Intermediate-class ferry, the Queen of Capilano operates on the busy commuter and tourist route between Horseshoe Bay (West Vancouver) and Snug Cove (Bowen Island). Despite being built 16 years ago (in 1991), she is still one of the youngest ferries in the fleet. 

And despite being a relatively new ferry, the Queen of Capilano is surprisingly prone to mechanical problems; partly due to her problematic unique Right Angle Drive (RAD) propulsion. The Queen of Cumberland which operates from Victoria to the Southern Gulf Islands, is the only sister ship to the Capilano in the fleet. Interestingly, the design of the new Intermediate Class ferry currently (2007) being built in North Vancouver is largely based on that of the Queen of Capilano.
