Realistically you are probably looking at close to 3 hours from checking in to disembarking. At that point, if time is money, I'm not sure why you would be taking the ferry. It will be expensive too to travel all that way by ferry.
Ferries are slow, there's a reason why the BC ferries only goes between Tsawwassen and Swartz bay, it's because it is the shortest distance (less time on a slow, inefficient vehicle)

You don't need an hour to check in to a ferry. #Even harbour air you can get there 15 minutes before the flight.
