Due to technical issues with the virtual waiting room, the summer 2025 reservations release was moved out one week.
Vehicle reservations for the summer 2025 schedule (June 15 through Sept. 20) will be available at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, April 22. We’ve resolved the issues with the virtual waiting room, and we will use it again to manage website traffic during this high-demand period.
Anacortes/San Juan Islands route only:
- The two-week and two-day reservation releases will remain at 7 a.m.
For more information about reservations on the Anacortes/San Juan Islands and Port Townsend/Coupeville routes, visit our webpage.
We’ll begin a new summer schedule for the Anacortes/San Juan Islands route on June 15, following a collaborative schedule update process with the community. This is the third new schedule for the route after successfully implementing new winter and spring sailing schedules earlier this year.
#1 Kittitas and #2 Cathlamet are running an estimated 20 minutes behind schedule.
We will continue to send updated travel information as it becomes available. Customers can check the online schedule for more information on scheduled upcoming sailings and also view the real-time travel map for live boat location information.
To make sure you get on your preferred sailing, . With the new winter schedule, we’ve noticed vehicle capacity can be limited on westbound sailings out of Anacortes in the afternoons and evenings, Monday through Friday.
Reservations are also now available for 90% of the vessel’s capacity, up from 75% for the past year. This means that there are fewer vehicle spaces available for customers without reservations.
Technicians have fixed the transfer span, and the route is back open. The vessel will resume service with a late 6:45 a.m. from Point Defiance.
