Travel Note
Please be aware that ferries can be delayed. If you plan on arriving the day of the wedding, we suggest you take the 10:30am ferry. A later ferry might result in you missing the ceremony. Anacortes is going to be your destination before boarding the ferry. Once there, you’ll purchase a round-trip ticket to Friday Harbor, which is the only ferry terminal on San Juan Island. After disembarking the ferry, Roche Harbor is a short, 20-minute drive through rural farmland and forests. - Map directions from your starting point to the Anacortes Ferry Terminal. - Map directions from the Friday Harbor ferry terminal to Roche Harbor’s check-in area. Be sure to check the ferry schedule to find out what options you have for the trip over to the island. Also, keep in mind that you don’t want to miss the boat, so be sure to make reservations and show up about 60 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time. **It is likely that you will not get a spot on the ferry without a reservation during the busier spring-summer months, so we highly recommend it. You can reserve a spot on the ferry 2 months prior to the sailing date, 2 weeks before the sailing date, and 2 days before all at 7am PST.
