About Ferry SF
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. Alcatraz publishes no return times, so its island departures are estimates, marked as such. 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 3D 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. FerrySF 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. PRIVACY Location stays on your device for nearest terminal and map centering. We do not sell or farm user data. FERRYSF PRO (OPTIONAL AUTO-RENEWABLE SUBSCRIPTION) A small banner on the Schedule tab supports the free app. FerrySF Pro removes that ad and unlocks unlimited live map access. Monthly and yearly plans (see in-app pricing; for example $1.99/month or $9.99/year in the U.S.). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription automatically renews unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings -> Apple ID -> Subscriptions.
