General Kitsap Transit Ferry Policies & Information

Additional policies specific to Bremerton Fast Ferries are listed below 

Accessibility
Kitsap Transit ferries and gangways are wheelchair friendly. Crewmembers will help to ensure a safe and secure ride. The Rich Passage 1 can accommodate up to four mobility devices* on a first-come, first-served basis. Passengers can reach the Bremerton Ferry Dock from the bus deck by taking the main elevator down to the boardwalk and following signs to the gangway towards the Foot Ferries. An elevator at the end of the gangway will transport passengers to the ferry dock.

At Pier 50

For everyone's safety, passengers using a wheelchair or other mobility devices must be assisted down the ramp by a customer-service representative due to the potentially steep slope.

*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 Rich Passage 1 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/Scooters
Bicycles are welcome aboard on a first-come, first-served basis. Crews will direct passengers on secure placement of their bikes in one of the 12 exterior racks. The current design of the existing bike rack (each with inside openings of 2.25") makes it impossible to safely secure bikes with fenders, disc brakes, or balloon tires. Bicycles that do not fit safely in the bike rack will not be allowed on the vessel. If you would like to test the bike rack and see if your bicycle fits, you may do so using the bike testing rack located on the Bremerton Dock gangway. 

Kitsap Transit limits the size and number of electric scooters allowed onboard the Bremerton Fast Ferry. Any electric scooter must measure 43 inches or less in length (folded); any electric scooter larger than 43 inches will not be allowed onboard. A scooter size-testing box is available at the Bremerton dock. Scooters that do not fit in the box will not be allowed onboard. 

A maximum of five (5) electric scooters are allowed on each sailing of the Bremerton Fast Ferry. Approved scooters must be stowed beneath the table at the rear of the cabin and oriented in a forward-and-aft direction. Scooters may not be hung on bicycle racks or stowed beneath seats.

Please bear in mind that the onboard storage area is available on a first-come, first-served basis for mobility devices, strollers, luggage and scooters. If the storage area is full, no additional scooters will be allowed onboard. Riders must keep any electric motorized skateboards, hoverboards or unicycles at their seat and not stow them beneath the table at the rear of the cabin. 

Chaining your bicycle/scooter to the rail of the vessel is prohibited. Vessel weight restrictions also prohibit heavier bikes/scooters. Shoes with metal cleats are not allowed in passenger areas. 

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.
