See you on Pear Point!
Ferry Navigation
We recommend getting the WSDOT app on your phone as it’s much easier to search and book reservations. You can also visit the WSDOT website to search and book. As soon as the spring sailing schedule is released, will add more information on sailing times.
As it is a holiday weekend, we highly recommend getting ferry reservations if you’re driving on the boat. Only 10% of standby spots are available for drive-ons without a reservation. You will need to arrive at the terminal at least 30 minutes before your sail time for your reservations to be honored.
Reservations are available one month before, two weeks before, and two days before your sailing date. Yes, it can be a pain. No, we did not ask for the system to be like this. We’re here for you if you need help.
Walk on passengers: you’re chill, bb. Go forth and sail.
Our advice: plan ahead and be flexible! Bring snacks in case you miss your boat or the boat misses you.
