Extra Ferry Service During Fleet Week 2019
San Francisco Bay Ferry is proud to offer extra service on Saturday, October 12, and Sunday, October 13, to help local residents fully enjoy Fleet Week 2019.
Extra service will be offered on the Vallejo and Alameda/Oakland ferry routes for Saturday and Sunday. The current Richmond weekend schedule will be unchanged. The normal schedule will be in place on all ferry routes on Thursday, October 10, and Friday, October 11.
We strongly encourage all passengers to use their Clipper Card or the Hopthru app during Fleet Week as heavy crowds are expected. Uniformed military personnel can ride for free on Saturday and Sunday during Fleet Week.
