Oakland Ferry Terminal

Whether you’re commuting to work from the East Bay, meeting friends for dinner, or cheering on your favorite team, San Francisco Bay Ferry is the most convenient and comfortable way to cross the Bay. Our modern, spacious vessels offer free Wi-Fi and a host of other amenities, including food and full beverage bar service. We serve the San Francisco Ferry Building and Pier 39/Fisherman’s Wharf, Harbor Bay and Main Street in Alameda, Jack London Square in Oakland, and Vallejo, with seasonal service to AT&T Park and Angel Island. Free parking is available at all terminals, along with convenient on and off-boat bike storage for those who prefer to travel on two wheels. Weekday-only service between Oakland, Alameda and the new South San Francisco terminal at Oyster Point starts June 4. For schedules and fares, visit www.sanfranciscobayferry.com.

Forget the crowds and delays of BART. This is the civilized way to get to SF. Grab a coffee at the snack bar , hop on the free wifi and enjoy the amazing views of the bay !

Alex Kim

Commuting on the ferry is soul enriching. Taking in the open sky, the ocean air, and the view of the bay beats the tunnels of Bart any day. Highly recommend taking it from east bay to SF.

Adrian Phillips

Great photo opportunities if you get up for the early ferry . Plenty of seating, if you get on with a bike at Oakland, put it out back. Much more civilized way to commute than the shitty BART.
