Kitsap Transit Fast Ferry Fares
The Fast Ferry is passenger-only (no vehicles). Fares differ by direction.
| Rider | Eastbound (Brem→Sea) | Westbound (Sea→Brem) |
|---|---|---|
| Adult (full fare) | $2.00 | $13.00 |
| Youth (18 & under) | Free | Free |
| Senior (65+) / Disability (RRFP) | $1.00 | $6.50 |
Reduced fares require a Regional Reduced Fare Permit (RRFP) ORCA card — confirm current amounts with Kitsap Transit. Bikes ride at no extra charge (first-come, first-served racks).
Why the price difference by direction?
The lower eastbound fare encourages commuters heading into Seattle. The higher westbound fare reflects the premium of the 30-minute crossing versus WSF’s 60-minute trip.
Payment methods
ORCA card: Accepted on both WSF and the Fast Ferry — tap at the terminal reader before boarding. The fastest, most convenient option.
Contactless tap-to-pay (Fast Ferry): The Fast Ferry now accepts a tap of any contactless Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express card, or a phone wallet (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay). Take the card out of your wallet so the reader doesn’t scan the wrong card, and each rider taps their own card.
Cash: Accepted at WSF terminal booths. The Fast Ferry takes exact fare only — no change is given.
Ticket kiosks & cards: ORCA vending machines are at both Fast Ferry terminals; WSF booths and kiosks take credit/debit. WSF also offers the Wave2Go mobile ticketing app for walk-ons.
Quick comparison: WSF vs Fast Ferry
For a walk-on adult traveling round-trip from Seattle:
| Option | Over (Sea→Brem) | Back (Brem→Sea) | Round trip |
|---|---|---|---|
| WSF car ferry (60 min) | $11.35 | Free | $11.35 |
| Kitsap Fast Ferry (30 min) | $13.00 | $2.00 | $15.00 |
The State Ferry is the cheaper and more scenic ride; the Fast Ferry premium buys a crossing that’s half the time. Either way, youth 18 & under ride free. Not sure which to take? See the FAQ for a scenery-vs-speed breakdown.
