The company will be using a nine-seat aircraft, typically seen for similar-length flights between Caribbean islands.
Departures are designed, according to the company, to appear to day-trippers.
A media release suggests fares as low as $49, but a search of their booking service on their website, shows tickets for $86.12 or $107.12 between Victoria and Friday Harbor (May 7 flights).
