The Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) will begin ferry service between Mare Island and the Vallejo Terminal on March 6. Passengers boarding at Mare Island may stay onboard and continue on to San Francisco, paying only the standard Vallejo-to-San Francisco fare; they will not be charged the additional Mare Island-to-Vallejo fare.
The new passenger boarding facility is next to WETA’s North Bay Operations and Maintenance Facility, located within the area of the former Mare Island Naval Shipyard. The facility has three full-service waterside berths to accommodate maintenance and passenger activities for up to six vessels and also serves as the northern anchor of WETA’s San Francisco Bay Ferry region-wide operations.
Please note that vessels from Mare Island wait up to 15 minutes after arriving at the Vallejo Terminal before departing for San Francisco. Initially, there will be no parking fee at Mare Island. Ferry riders may park in designated areas at the Mare Island Ferry Terminal.
Mare Island weekday service will consist of seven trips between Mare Island and Vallejo; the weekend schedule provides four trips (see page 20 for updated schedule).
The standard fare for a trip between Mare Island and the Vallejo Ferry Terminal is $1.60—the same as current short-hop fares elsewhere in the WETA system. The Mare Island short-hop fare for seniors and disabled passengers will be $.80.
