Kitsap Transit’s three fast ferry routes will start their summer schedules on Saturday, May 4, 2024.
Summer sailing schedules include all-day Saturday service from Bremerton, Kingston and Southworth to Seattle. For the last several years, we’ve been forced to delay implementing our summer schedules due to a lack of qualified mariners. We’re happy to announce that Saturday sailings will return in May this year!
Saturday schedules vary by route:
The Bremerton route operates 10 round-trip sailings per day, starting with the 9:20 AM sailing from Bremerton and ending with the 11:30 PM sailing from Seattle.
The Kingston route operates 8 round-trip sailings per day, starting with the 9:20 AM from Kingston and ending with the 11:10 PM sailing from Seattle.
The Southworth route operates 11 round-trip sailings per day, starting with the 9:45 AM sailing from Southworth and ending with the 11:15 PM sailing from Seattle.
You can view full schedules for all three routes on our Ferries page. Additional PM service will be added to the Port Orchard-Bremerton local ferry on Saturdays to accommodate passengers traveling to and from Seattle on the Bremerton Fast Ferry. Routes 86–Southworth Shuttle, 307–Kingston/North Viking Fast Ferry and Kingston Ride will operate Saturday service during the summer to connect with the Southworth and Kingston fast ferry routes.
Since December 2022, Kitsap Transit has operated a limited Saturday sailing schedule on the Bremerton-Seattle route as part of an agreement with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to fill in gaps in Washington State Ferries’ schedule. This temporary Saturday schedule (seven round trips per day to Seattle) will be replaced with our normal summer Saturday schedule (10 round trips per day). We will continue to operate our expanded weekday ferry schedule on the Bremerton route. Check out the Bremerton Fast Ferry page for details.
Summer schedules will run through September 28, 2024. Kitsap Transit Fast Ferry fares are $2 traveling from Kitsap County to Seattle and $10 from Seattle to Kitsap County. You can pay with cash or an ORCA card. For information on reduced-fare options and the Free Youth Transit Pass, visit our fares page.
