Bremerton Fast Ferry Operating One-Boat Service on Tuesday – 12/17

Due to mechanical issues, Kitsap Transit will operate one-boat service on the Bremerton/Seattle route on Tuesday, December 17. 

In the event of a mechanical issue with M/V Lady Swift, the remaining boat on the Bremerton route, Kitsap Transit will cancel additional sailings because it does not have a spare vessel. Customers should be prepared to make alternative travel plans in the event of canceled or delayed sailings.

To minimize disruption to our Bremerton Fast Ferry passengers, Southworth Fast Ferry will temporarily operate extra sailings and an extra bus between the Southworth Ferry Terminal and Port Orchard Ferry Dock. See details below after the Bremerton Fast Ferry information.

We are working as quickly as possible to restore two-boat service on the Bremerton/Seattle route. M/V Rich Passage 1 is having an engine replaced and is expected to return to service soon, while M/V Reliance is in a shipyard for scheduled maintenance and is expected to return to service in January 2025.
