A ferry from Vancouver Harbour to Victoria Harbour would be over twice as long (~140km) vs Vancouver Harbour to Nanaimo Harbour (~65km). Making an extremely liberal estimation that the ferry will travel at 40 knots the entire trip (it won't because it will have to slow in Vancouver, Active Pass, and Victoria Harbour) it would take around an hour and 55 minutes. just including travel time. 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)
