WSF Car Ferry Fares (Seattle-Bremerton)

Walk-on passenger fares are collected westbound only (Seattle to Bremerton). The eastbound trip from Bremerton to Seattle is free for walk-on passengers. Vehicle fares are collected in both directions — vehicle and driver fares are collected at Seattle (westbound) and at Bremerton (eastbound). Passengers riding in a vehicle pay the walk-on fare only on the westbound crossing.

Vehicle under 14 feet (includes driver): approximately $16.60 per crossing. Vehicle 14-22 feet: approximately $22.75. Motorcycle: approximately $9.05. Note: fares may vary slightly by direction and season — see WSDOT links below for exact current amounts. Oversized vehicles: additional fees apply. Vehicle fares include the driver — passengers pay the walk-on fare separately.

Multi-Ride Options

Frequent riders can load WSF passes onto an ORCA card for discounted fares. Monthly passes are available for regular commuters. Visit the official WSDOT fares page for current multi-ride pricing.

Kitsap Transit Fast Ferry Fares

The Fast Ferry is passenger-only (no vehicles). Fares differ by direction.

Regular Fares

Adult Eastbound (Bremerton to Seattle): $2.00. Adult Westbound (Seattle to Bremerton): $13.00. Youth (6-18): $1.00 eastbound / $6.50 westbound. Senior/Disabled: $1.00 eastbound / $6.50 westbound. Children under 6: Free. ORCA cards accepted.

Why the Price Difference by Direction?

The lower eastbound fare is designed to encourage commuters heading to Seattle. The higher westbound fare reflects the premium speed of the 30-minute crossing compared to WSF’s 60-minute trip.
