About the Anacortes Terminal – Guemes Island Terminal crossing
The listed plan runs from 1 October 2025 to 19 May 2027. Nineteen months on a single timetable is far longer than most published ferry plans run, and it tells you what this crossing is: a county road that happens to float.
Thirty-four departures, sixteen of them daily
From 06:30 to 23:00, mostly at half-hour intervals through the middle of the day. Weekend and weekday patterns diverge at the edges: 07:30, 14:30 and 15:15 are weekdays; 09:00, 10:00, 17:15, 17:45, 19:00 and 19:30 are Sunday-only.
The midday hole
Nothing runs between 11:15 and 13:00. On a route with a boat every half hour either side, an hour and three quarters is a deliberate break rather than a gap in demand.
Five minutes over 0.6 nautical miles
Skagit County runs this crossing to Guemes Island, which has no bridge and several hundred year-round residents. The last boat at eleven at night is what makes that arrangement liveable.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Fare covers outbound and return
- Email and text service alerts
- After-hours service by arrangement, capped at three hours
Onboard facilities and vehicle, pet and luggage policies vary by operator and vessel; confirm details with the operator before booking.
