A more reliable way to ride the ferries

FerryFriend exists to make ferry travel easier—by turning scattered, hard-to-find information into one organized, dependable experience. It started as a daily-commuter solution in 2014, and it's grown into a tool used by thousands of riders across Puget Sound.

What makes FerryFriend special

  • Clarity over clutter

    Ferry information can be overwhelming. We distill and surface what's important so you don't have to.

  • Prioritizing feedback

    FerryFriend is built by you, the user. We take all feedback into consideration, and it's what makes the app great.

  • Built on years of experience

    FerryFriend has been refined for over 10 years by people who ride the ferries regularly.
