General Kitsap Transit Ferry Policies & Information

Additional policies specific to Kingston Fast Ferries are listed below 

Accessibility
Kitsap Transit ferries and gangways are wheelchair friendly. Crewmembers will help to ensure a safe and secure ride. Kitsap Transit can accommodate up to six mobility devices* on the Finest on a first-come, first served basis. 

*Mobility Devices are defined by the ADA as "a manually-operated or power-driven device designed primarily for use by an individual with a mobility disability for the main purpose of indoor and outdoor locomotion." Other power-driven mobility devices (OPDMDs) will NOT be allowed aboard the passenger only vessle to maintain the safety of all passengers and crew members. OPDMDs (i.e,  ATVs, Segways, mopeds, scooters, golf carts) infringe upon safe operation due to strict weight limits enacted and enforced by the United States Coast Guard, the high volume of pedestrian traffic, the design and operational characteristics of the vessel (there is no available storage to secure such devices), and the substantial risk posed by combustion-engines containing flammable liquid fuel that is a marine pollutant.

Bicycles and Scooters
Bicycles and electric bikes under 100 pounds are welcome aboard on a first-come first-served basis. Crews will direct passengers on secure placement of their bikes. There are no hanging bike racks on this vessel. Bicycles and electric bikes that do not fit safely in a bike rack will not be allowed on the vessel. Oversized bicycles and electric bikes are allowed on board if they do not block pathways or doorways. Chaining your bicycle to the rail of the vessel is prohibited. Shoes with metal cleats are not allowed. 

Electric scooters are allowed on the Kingston Fast Ferry. On the M/V Enetai and M/V Commander, scooters must be stored in the scooter bins at the rear of the vessel, near the bike racks. 

Service Animals
Only service animals are allowed in Kitsap Transit buildings, vessels, or buses (the only exception is small animals inside a fully enclosed pet carrier not exceeding 25 pounds). Passengers who are traveling with a service animal are responsible and may be held liable for its behavior and actions. Kitsap Transit reserves the right to deny transportation, regardless of certification, if any animal poses a direct threat to the health and safety of others. 

Comfort and emotional support animals are not service animals and must be in a fully enclosed pet carrier.

Pets and comfort/emotional support animals will not be allowed to board in purses, backpacks, reusable grocery bags, etc. Only fully enclosed approved pet carriers are allowed.
