Less than $5 on most routes

If you’ve ever ridden the ferry, you know that it’s the best way to cross the Bay. To make it even better, we have signficantly discounted our fares. The ferry ride is just $4.50 each way with Clipper. $9 for Vallejo. Less than bridge tolls on every route before you count up gas costs or parking.

We recommend you use Clipper to take advantage of our lowest fares and transfer discounts. But if you don't have, you can use the new San Francisco Bay Ferry app to buy tickets from your smartphone.

Always safe, clean and fresh.

San Francisco Bay Ferry is a safe, clean environment. Each departure has a crew of four to maintain security and passenger comfort on the vessel at all times. We rigorously clean our ferries to ensure everyone is safe and comfortable. Plus, if you prefer outdoor seating, we have that available on all of our vessels.
