The S-Class Ferries, Spirit Class Ferries or Super ferries are the largest ferries in the BC Ferries Fleet.

There are 2 Spirit Class Ferries—The Spirit of Vancouver Island (built 1993) and the Spirit of British Columbia (built 1994). These two ferries were built in separate parts by a variety of different shipbuilders in British Columbia, and they were fully assembled in North Vancouver.

Both vessles have exactly the same characteristics, and except for some minor differences, are laid out exactly the same.

These vessels operate exclusively on the Highway 17 ( Swartz Bay- Tsawwassen) route. The Spirit of Vancouver Island is based in Swartz Bay on Vancouver Island and the Spirit of British Columbia is based on the mainland.
