Temporary Ferry Schedule

Posted July 18, 2017 at 10:53 pm by

Well according to the fine print on the temporary schedule, we could be down to 4 boats for the remainder of the month and possibly into August (we should have 5 boats this time of year). Here’s the revised temporary schedule.

And here’s the official word from WSF:

Because of a generator failure on the M/V Yakima, the Anacortes/San Juan Islands/Sidney, BC route is operating on a four-boat emergency schedule until another vessel can join the route and restore it to a full five-boat capacity. See the alternative schedule online at http://bit.ly/AnaSJsTempSchedule.

Sailing times have been adjusted to prioritize domestic travel in the San Juan Islands, canceling the morning international sailings to and from Sidney, British Columbia. For domestic travelers, customers with existing reservations will get priority on a first-come, first-served basis each day. Reservation holders who choose not to travel will not be charged a no-show fee and don’t need to cancel their reservation.

For those international travelers booked on the morning sailing to Sidney, your reservations will be honored on the afternoon sailing at 2:50 pm. As an alternative, your reservation will also be honored on BC Ferries, which has early morning sailings available from the Vancouver area to Sidney (Swartz Bay) or Nanaimo. Visit www.bcferries.com or call 1-888-BC-FERRY to let them know that your reservation has been affected by the Washington State Ferries vessel breakdown.

WSF reservations from Anacortes to Sidney can be canceled at any time without incurring a no-show fee by visiting www.takeaferry.com or by calling 1-888-808-7977.

WSF is not accepting new vehicle reservations at this time, though there is a limited amount of vehicle stand-by space on every sailing. Please plan to arrive at the terminal early and consider walking on to the ferry.

We apologize for the inconvenience this causes and thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to restore full service on this route.

  1. I’m pretty sure that the peeps walking on Hi-5 will get to their destination alot faster AND not have to get there 2 hrs. beforehand to do IT! Really? Give up the ‘politically correct’ run to Victoria & give us back our HI-WAY.
