Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket?
No — a mobile ticket is accepted. It's worth saving a screenshot in case you lose signal at the pier.
This is a one-way ticket — how do I get back?
You'll need to purchase a separate ticket for the return journey. You can buy one in advance or at the ticket booth in Sausalito.
What time does the first ferry leave, and how often do they run?
The first sailing from Pier 41 departs at 11:45 daily. There are five departures each direction on both weekdays and weekends, with the last outbound sailing at 18:45 (Mon–Fri) or 19:15 (Sat–Sun).
Can I choose where I sit on the ferry?
Seats are not reserved — it's open seating on both the indoor and outdoor decks, so board a little early if you want a particular spot.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Crossings may not operate during inclement weather. Check with the ticket booth on the day if conditions look uncertain.
My child is three years old — do I need to buy them a ticket?
Children aged four and under travel free of charge, so no ticket is needed for them.
