TICKETS & PAYMENT OPTIONS
There are four ways to pay fares.
- Clipper Card or Mobile Clipper
Using your Clipper Card or mobile Clipper is the easiest way to pay your ferry fare. Tag On during boarding and Tag Off upon arrival in each direction. - Mobile Tap-and-ride
Ferry passengers can pay adult fares using plastic or mobile contactless bank cards—credit or debit—Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover. - SF Bay Ferry app
If you’re a riding with a family or group, you can purchase mobile tickets using the SF Bay Ferry app (available to download on iOS and Android). When using your mobile tickets, remember to activate a ticket for each passenger prior to boarding. - Paper tickets
Paper tickets are sold at Bay Crossings in the Ferry Building. You can also purchase paper tickets onboard the ferry using cash or card. You may be required to wait in a second line, so this is the least recommended option.
