The foot ferry costs the same as a Kitsap Transit bus: $2.00 one way at the full fare, $1.00 for eligible reduced-fare riders, and free for riders 18 and under. The fare page lists cash, most credit and debit cards, digital wallet, the Transit GO Ticket app, an ORCA card E-purse, tokens and paper tickets; the foot ferry FAQ adds that card purchases of one-way tickets are possible only at the vending machines on the Bremerton dock, not at Port Orchard or Annapolis. Tickets are valid for 60 days from purchase. Crew do not give change. Riders who tap a credit or debit card on an ORCA reader pay the full adult fare. A free two-hour transfer applies with ORCA or a paper transfer. All fares in US dollars (USD).
The Port Orchard foot ferry is a passenger-only boat that crosses Sinclair Inlet between the Port Orchard Ferry Dock and the Bremerton Ferry Dock. Kitsap Transit, the county transit agency, runs it. It is not a Washington State Ferries route, and it is not the Seattle fast ferry: the fast ferries from Bremerton are a separate Kitsap Transit service with their own fares.
Sailings are roughly every 30 minutes, seven days a week. On weekdays the first boat leaves Port Orchard at 4:25 am and the last leaves at 8:30 pm; from Bremerton the first is at 4:45 am and the last at 9:00 pm. Saturday service runs from 8:30 am from Port Orchard to a last departure at 7:30 pm, and Sunday from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. The timetable shows each crossing as arriving 12 minutes after it leaves. Kitsap Transit's holiday calendar lists no service on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, and on Christmas Eve the last boats leave Port Orchard at 4:30 pm and Bremerton at 4:45 pm.
The fare is the same as a Kitsap Transit bus: $2.00 one way, $1.00 for eligible reduced-fare riders, and free for riders 18 and under. Tickets can be bought with a card at the vending machines on the Bremerton dock, and an ORCA card or the Transit GO Ticket app also works. Crew do not give change.
Kitsap Transit posts service changes as rider alerts. In October 2026 it said the Port Orchard and Annapolis boats had no backup vessel until at least December 1, 2026, so sailings can be canceled at short notice; it also cancelled Annapolis foot ferry sailings until further notice, with buses linking the Annapolis Park & Ride and the Port Orchard dock, and noted that the Admiral Pete carries at most 85 passengers. Subscribe to the rider alerts before you rely on a particular sailing.
On the Port Orchard side, paid parking is in downtown lot 4, paid through ParkMobile signs; the Port of Bremerton can be reached at 360-876-5535. Most foot ferries are wheelchair accessible, but smaller replacement boats are not.
- Arrive at the terminal several minutes before departure; vehicle lanes close earlier than the foot-passenger gate.
- Check the operator's service alerts before you set out — weather, tides and vessel maintenance change sailings.
- Confirm accepted payment methods: some crossings are card-only and some take cash only.
