About this app

Ferry SF is a free, fan-made companion for San Francisco Bay ferry riders. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Golden Gate Ferry, San Francisco Bay Ferry (WETA), the Angel Island Tiburon Ferry, the Treasure Island Ferry, or Alcatraz City Cruises. For tickets and official fares, use Clipper or each operator's website. This app is a schedule and tracking reference, not a ticket store.

BUILT FOR A QUICK LOOK
Open the app, skip the intro, and see today's sailings for the terminal you are near. Past times fade, and the list jumps to the next departure so you can decide whether to walk over or wait. No account required.

FIVE FERRY SERVICES, ONE APP
Golden Gate Ferry, San Francisco Bay Ferry, Angel Island Tiburon Ferry, Treasure Island Ferry, and Alcatraz City Cruises. Choose the services you ride on first launch, and turn any of them on or off later in the Info menu.

Discover routes you have not tried yet. See every ferry on the bay in one place and find your next adventure, from a Sausalito lunch to a day on Angel Island or Alcatraz. Each service links to its own website for tickets and fares.

SCHEDULES
Weekday, weekend, and holiday departures for ports across the bay: San Francisco, Larkspur, Sausalito, Tiburon, Angel Island, Treasure Island, Alcatraz, Vallejo, Richmond, Oakland, Alameda, Harbor Bay, South San Francisco, and Oracle Park on Giants game days. Switch ports from the dropdown, or tap destination chips to see only the places you are going. See gates, delays, and Live or Predicted vessel cues when we have them. Tap a sailing with a ship assigned to follow it on the map. Departures for the next seven days at every port of the services you follow are saved on your device when you open the app, so times still show on the platform, in a tunnel, or anywhere signal is poor.

LIVE MAP
Watch ferries across the bay using public AIS and real-time ferry data. Ship icons match the vessels you will see in person. Tap a ship for its trip and specs, swipe between boats, and tap a port to open its schedule. Jump to any port from the bay overview, follow your own location, and switch to a satellite view. Zoom in for ship names and wakes. When live coverage is thin or you are offline, predicted positions follow the real ferry channels to estimate where each boat should be. Free users get a short map preview each session. Ferry SF Pro keeps the map unlocked.

ALERTS AND NEWS
Service alerts from Golden Gate Ferry, San Francisco Bay Ferry, and Alcatraz appear as a banner on the Schedule, with a badge for what is new to you. Acknowledge alerts you have already seen so they stay out of the way. Plus a feed of recent Golden Gate news.

FLEET
Browse the vessels of the services you follow, with specs and a Live tag for the ones on the water, and see which boat is running a trip when that information is available.

APPEARANCE
Light, Dark, or follow your device.

What’s new

Service alerts now show on the Schedule. When Golden Gate Ferry posts a temporary timetable, changed trips are marked: revised times, bus service and cancellations, with a banner to switch back to the regular schedule. Alerts open with a short summary and the schedule image (pinch to zoom), and the latest alerts stay available offline. Turn it off in Info. Oracle Park is a port only on Giants game days.
