About the Seattle – Bremerton crossing
Sixty minutes, and fifteen sailings a day. This is the long Seattle crossing: 11.9 nautical miles to Bremerton against seven to Bainbridge, and an hour aboard against thirty-five minutes. Both leave from Colman Dock, and choosing between them is a question of where you are going rather than which is quicker.
Round the clock, every day
Every one of the fifteen departures runs seven days a week, from 00:50 to 22:30. There is no weekday-versus-weekend split at all, which makes this one of the simplest timetables in the Washington State Ferries network to plan around.
What the extra half hour buys
The fare is around $11.35. For that you get an hour on the water instead of half of one, and an arrival on the Kitsap Peninsula rather than on Bainbridge Island — a different road network on the far side, and the reason the two routes are not interchangeable.
A seasonal schedule
The current plan runs to 19 September 2026. Washington State Ferries replaces its timetables wholesale on fixed dates rather than amending them, so these fifteen sailings hold until that changeover.
