Well run, inexpensive (less than $5 each way for adult walk on) and on time. It was clean and well maintained. Of particular note is the cafe guy; he is so pleasant and gracious, and really seems to like his job! Great way to get between Coupeville and Port Townsend. It lets you off downtown Port Townsend so easy to walk on and walk off for sight seeing. It lets you off other side of Coupeville from downtown, so you might want to drive on if going that direction to explore. read more

Port Townsend Ferry Terminal - Our view waiting to board the ferry in point Townsend - Public Transportation Near Me - Port Townsend, Washington

Ferry station that goes across to Whidbey Island from Port Townsend. Runs about every hour or so, and only a 30 minute ride to the island. We took one of the first ferry's in the am, not as busy, but gets more busy as the day goes on. They have restrooms available pre-boarding, but also on the ferry too. Very pretty view; a little windy. Highly recommend reservations, but always an adventure to get on standby. You can walk-on, bike, motorcycles and campers/ RVs-semis too! About $23 for a standard car and 2 passengers. There is a galley with food for purchase, waiting area for a nice view, and just a relaxing trip that beats a 4-hour drive. Very smooth sailing. You can see lots of mountains. read more

A beautiful view greeted my boyfriend and I as we stepped onto the ferry and looked out at the waves. The trip was smooth sailing and the views were spectacular, the crew were amazing and carried out their jobs with skill. The water was a bit choppy and it was very windy on the return trip but everything was handled perfectly and the trip was amazing. All in all, I would recommend this experience to anyone looking for a wonderful time and an amazing experience! Great experience for adults and kids of all ages as well. read more

Eat, Drink, and be Ferry This was my first time taking about a ferry ride across a body of water w/ a car in tow. I know this is an everyday experience for some, but some of us aren't so lucky, I suppose. :) This Ferry has been running for over 70 years, taking passengers and their cars from Port Townsend to Whidbey Island. The Good: *Amazing views! *Maybe I'm a bit of a simpleton but I found this whole thing very fun and quaint. *Most of the staff was great, other than the jackass at the ticket booth (see below). *Took off on time The Meh: *Not sure if this is Rona® related or not, but there was no snack bar/cafeteria open. They could at least have a Vending machine?? The Ugly: *Dude in the ticket booth was a real fucktard. Had the nerve to laugh at us because we thought we had already paid when we made the reservations, but evidently not. Why did it bother asking for our CC info then?! I'm sorry I don't know every little stupid thing about your Ferry, you chode. We'll endeavor to do better next time. TLDR: Fun way to make it across the Puget Sound. Just never mind the jackass at the booth. read more

Plan ahead, because this one fills up quick! Don't gamble on the FCFS slots, or you may embe stuck with a later ferry or, at worst, a four-hour drive, the LONG way onto Whidbey. Otherwise, great ferry, great terminal. read more

When the weather report is advising, "Galia" Port Townsend will not pass through. Their ship is smaller so if the strong wind hits them just right when they pass through a small canal it can send the vessel into the rocks. Traveling On april 20th 2023 our vessel was canceled That's your biggest worry when on a road trip of having to backtrack 3 hours. Still in a good mood we arrived to our next destination 4 1/2 hours later barely in time for dinner & a drink. My word of advise, make sure port townsend is operational before you make the drive. Particularly when you're nearby, Fat Smitty's. If we listened to our gut we would have just driven to Kingston. Laura at fat smitty's is right about the ferries being operational even in bad weather (like kingston to edmond & mukilteo to clinton). but gave us incorrect information about townsend to coupeville. Good luck on your own journey! read more

I had never been on this ferry and my experience was great, employees were very helpful, there was an older fella at the Port townsend teller side that helped me who was awesome. On the Whidbey side there was two ladies, the teller with shorter blond hair and a younger lady with reddish hair and a nose ring, theu are both gems, small but awesome team! read more

Decent ferry terminal. They do fill up fast, and only run every 1.5 hours, so plan accordingly. We just missed the 12:30 one, so we sat in line for the 2:00 one. When we got here, around 12:45, there were only 12 'drive up' spots left. By the time we boarded, there were quite a few vehicles in overflow. Would recommend a reservation if you don't like to sit and wait. We are on a road trip, so reservations didn't really work for us. The restrooms were clean. The terminal is following covid restrictions, with masks required inside and outside, and social distancing requirements. It cost us about $20 for our car, driver and one additional passenger. The ride is about 30 minutes from Port Townsend to Coupeville. read more

Put trashcans in your restrooms it's not sanitary to carry around feminine products and diapers while searching for a trashcan. The ride is always great though. read more

I made a reservation, sort of. On the confusing website I did understand that if we didn't show for the time I chose, then there would be a ten dollar charge. I also understood that we would pay when we got there. So when we arrived at the pay booth, there was a Mr. Grumpy pants who had the most annoying attitude. We showed him our email confirmation and he just said that it didn't mean anything to him. When all was said and done, we asked for a schedule, he said I'll give you one but it's shitty. My bf laughed but really, what a GRUMP! read more

Make a reservation. This ferry is a reservation only, if you don't make one you are at the mercy of the ferry system. Small ferry and staff is not that friendly. read more

This terminal is average. Not bad, but not outstanding. But that is fine since you are just waiting. The bathrooms are clean enough but the hand dryers are very slow. But beware that this terminal is always busy mostly in the beginning and end of the work day, but less now since Covid. read more
