For the morning of Saturday, December 14, the #4 vessel may remain out of service due to a mechanical issue. We will provide an update tomorrow morning.

The following adjustments have been made for passengers affected by the service disruption:

Eastbound:

• For transfers from Friday Harbor or Lopez to Shaw or Orcas: travelers will need to catch the 5:45 a.m. from Friday Harbor or the 6:30 a.m. from Lopez to Anacortes. 
• For transfers from Orcas, Shaw or Lopez to Friday Harbor: travelers will need to catch the 6:45 a.m. from Orcas, the 7:00 a.m. from Shaw or the 7:30 a.m. from Lopez to Anacortes. 
• The 12:25 p.m. from Orcas or the 12:40 p.m. from Shaw will make an unscheduled stop at Lopez to drop off Lopez inter-island traffic.

Westbound:

• The 11:55 a.m. from Anacortes to Lopez and Friday Harbor will pick up inter-island traffic bound for Friday Harbor.

We will provide an update tomorrow on the status of the inter-island vessel.

Riders should expect possible delays, due to one slip service out of Bainbridge Island.

We will continue to send updated travel information as it becomes available. Customers can check the online schedule for more information on scheduled upcoming sailings and also view the real-time travel map for live boat location information.

The new winter sailing schedule for the Anacortes/San Juan Islands route begins Sunday, Dec. 29. Vehicle reservations are currently open for the new schedule.

Working closely with the community, we developed the new winter schedule to include:

• Adjusted island stops
• Revised sailing times
• Updated vehicle allotments for each island
• Added weekend interisland service

These schedule changes will help improve on-time performance and provide more certainty for customers that boats will arrive and depart on time. Learn more about how we developed the new schedule on our project webpage.  

Low tides will cancel one or more sailings from Port Townsend and Coupeville in December. Please see our Tidal Cancellations table for a complete list of affected dates and departures.

On Saturday, December 14, the 6:45 p.m. sailing from Port Townsend and the 7:30 p.m. from Coupeville are cancelled due to tidal conditions.
