Washington State Ferries is temporarily reducing service on the Anacortes/San Juan Islands route beginning Friday, April 10, due to the M/V Samish being out of service due to needed rudder repairs.
Until further notice, the route will operate on a three-boat schedule instead of its usual four-boat service. Reservations will also be suspended through April 25. However, all passengers seeking to travel should be able to do so without reservations due to declines in ridership increasing the amount of available standby space.
These service changes will allow us time to repair the vessel while also ensuring that we are providing an appropriate level of service based on passenger demand, crew availability, and state and federal guidelines for responding to COVID-19. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to maintain our fleet.
