The MV Spirit of Kingston Replaces MV Doc Maynard on the West Seattle Route

The 149-passenger MV Spirit of Kingston will replace the 278-passenger MV Doc Maynard on the West Seattle route, until the Doc Maynard returns from the shipyard. Current ridership has been well below 149 passengers.

The water taxi is on its summer sailing schedule, and the City of Seattle and King County have reached an agreement to continue mid-day service seven-days-a-week this fall and winter.

The water taxi continues to prevent the spread of COVID-19 through regular cleaning and disinfecting between sailings. Masks are required for both passengers and crew.
