Seattle to Bainbridge Ferry Schedule: For the most up-to-date sailing schedule, check the Washington State Ferries website. If you download the WSDOT app, you can access “Vessel Watch,” which tracks the ferries in real-time. This will alert you of delays or changes as well. The Seattle to Bainbridge ferry route does not allow ticket sales in advance, so you’ll take care of that on the day of your sailing, either online or in person. Tickets: Walk-on passengers only pay one way when boarding from Seattle to Bainbridge Island. No tickets are needed when you leave to take the ferry to Seattle from the island. Adult tickets cost around $10 (prices vary by season). Drive-on passengers will pay both ways for the driver and vehicle. Be sure to ask about senior discounts. Walk-On Passengers: The passengers on foot will use the downtown Seattle ferry terminal on Alaskan Way. There’s a bit of walking involved, so plan accordingly based on your sailing time; we suggest arriving at least 20 minutes before the scheduled departure. All riders will disembark via the overhead walkway on the boat on the Bainbridge side. Drive-On Traffic: There’s a holding lot at the Seattle ferry terminal for riders with cars. You’ll also want to plan to arrive even earlier if you’re driving on, especially during the summer months when tourism is at its peak. Car Alarms on the Ferry: If you choose to head upstairs on the boat, deactivate your car alarm! The vibrations of the ferry set those off right away, saving the crew from having to announce the PA system calling out license plate numbers. Things to do on the Ferry: While aboard the Seattle to Bainbridge ferry, you’ll find comfortable seating areas, many with tables and all with beautiful views out the windows. Grab a local beer, glass of wine, or snacks from the galley to enjoy during the sailing. Be sure to head up to the upper deck for panoramic views—and the very lucky might even spot one of the local orca pods!
