Book your ferry rides at Seattle Ferry Terminal for fun and Joy!!

The ferry system has its origins in the mosquito fleet, a collection of small steamer lines serving the Puget Sound area during the later part of the nineteenth century and early part of the 20th century. Seattle Ferry Terminal is at Pier 52 Seattle, Marion St & Columbia St, Waterfront.

The ferries are painted in a distinctive white and green trim paint scheme and feature double-ended open vehicle decks and bridges at each end so that they do not need to turn around.

You can buy tickets online or in person. They are valid for 90 days. Commuter or discounted passes are available on the passes page.

The best ferry rides in Seattle are:
