Coming in roughly 2028. It will have two slips, but no service decisions have been made yet. Vessel limits remain until/unless additional resources free up to build more.

We do not have available vessels or dock space in Mission Bay to send multiple vessels for a single game, though.

SF Bay Ferry @sfbayferry.com · 01/09/2026

We get this request a lot. Valkyries fans are PREPARED and buy ferry tickets early. We do often add tickets at 10 AM on gameday. If we have a larger vessel available to assign to arena service, we open up more seats in the app/on the website. But we can't make that call until the day of the game.

Just eight more hours to help name our next @sfbayferry.com boats! Voting has been tight. "Say Hey" and the Grateful Dead-inspired "Terrapin" are in a battle for one of the last spots. "Ride the Lightning," "Hella" and "Hyphy" need a miracle. Vote now! 🗳️ ⛴️ ⬇️

The City of Alameda is working on those plans. MV Sea Change was briefly considered but isn't a good option due to bike capacity.

No. It's operating a private charter service under a landing rights agreement.

Thanks for pulling the charts. When looking at transit cost efficiency, we really do believe that last metric -- how much does it cost to move someone a mile toward their destination -- is the best gauge of efficiency.

110

SF Bay Ferry @sfbayferry.com · 09/02/2026

We have not published such a resource (or seen others do that), but NTD data includes passenger miles and is the source of our analysis.

120

SF Bay Ferry @sfbayferry.com · 09/02/2026

No internet debates for us, but just want to flag that in addition to being an excellent experience, we are one of the most cost-efficient transit operators in the region when accounting for distance. The myth that ferries are cost-inefficient is just that.

SF Bay Ferry @sfbayferry.com · 20/01/2026

We do feel that despite the slower speed during that area, the Richmond ferry route is quite serious based on high and growing ridership and preferable transit times compared to other modes.

SF Bay Ferry @sfbayferry.com · 20/01/2026

Thanks for the support. We have slow zones on most of our routes to avoid negatively impacting ecosystems and communities. The approved ferry channel, which meets depth and wake requirements, travels west of Brooks. Most other vessels do the same.

SF Bay Ferry @sfbayferry.com · 15/12/2025

We don't run Larkspur/Sausalito but there have been speedruns on our past free Clean Air Days. No official record tracking unlike BART; based on past efforts, all nine weekday terminals in our system with minimal biking/walking can be done in about 7 hours. South S.F. and Mare Island are tricky.

SF Bay Ferry @sfbayferry.com · 13/12/2025

"Corpus" and "Echoes" are at the Downtown S.F. Ferry Terminal; "Coralee" is on the north side of the Ferry Building. The others are all walkable from the terminal, too. An amazing outdoor gallery from @sfport.bsky.social!

App-based transit maps are legally allowed to show ferry routes? And not as tiny dotted lines? That's wild.

Numbers are in: more growth for ferry ridership. Preliminary data shows 17% year over year increase in September. Total ridership for the last 12 months: 2.9 million pax. Inching ever closer to that 3 million mark. The Bay Area is choosing safe, clean and reliable transit over freeway gridlock.

This view never gets old #sanfrancisco #oakland @sfbayferry.com

View of the San Francisco Bay from the back of the Oakland bound ferry while pulling into Oakland. In the distance, the San Francisco skyline peeks through blue sky and haze underneath a bright setting sun with strong rays projecting out of the sunset. On the right hand side of the picture, cranes in the port of Oakland are set against a blue sky fading down into the orange light of sunset. The bay ripples in the foreground with waves created by the boat's propellors and sun reflecting off of the water.

Last week our peak morning commute ridership (westbound only, arrive by 9:30 AM) landed at 2,774 per day. That's our third best week for that figure since 2020. Beaten only by ... the two weeks prior. Peak morning commute ridership is up 23% year over year. 📈

This is awesome. We also had a nice Tuesday, our best single-day September total (10,987) since 2020. Imagine if all these people (plus @rideact.bsky.social and other transbay bus riders) had to be on the freeways and bridges instead? Does Google Maps have a darker shade of red available?

SF Bay Ferry @sfbayferry.com · 05/09/2025

Agreed on the case for more funding for all transit modes. The pie needs to grow.

060

SF Bay Ferry @sfbayferry.com · 05/09/2025

We agree that BART is very efficient in this context! No argument there. What we object to is using cost-per-trip figures that make the ferry look much less efficient than other transit modes by ignoring that ferries typically take people much longer distances. The same applies to commuter rail.

160

SF Bay Ferry @sfbayferry.com · 05/09/2025

When you compare by cost per passenger mile, our system is one of the most efficient in the region. The metric you're using puts a 28-mile ferry ride from Vallejo to S.F. in the same bucket as a 2-mile bus ride.

SF Bay Ferry @sfbayferry.com · 05/09/2025

ALERT: We're adding an extra trip leaving Oakland at 9:35 AM bound for Downtown S.F. to help travelers cross the Bay. We also have trips departing Oakland at 10:05, 10:35, 11:05, 11:30 and 12:05.
