SF Ferry Schedule Changes
Main Street Alameda Terminal Temporary Closure
The Main Street Alameda Ferry Terminal will be closed for refurbishment from October 23, 2023, through January 1, 2024. During this time, ferries will NOT stop at this terminal.
The Main Street Alameda Ferry Terminal Refurbishment Project is a major construction project that includes the repair and replacement of the existing aging terminal infrastructure to bring the site into compliance with current seismic safety requirements. Design elements also prepare the terminal for future fleet electrification needs. Upon completion of the project, passengers will see direct benefits like more efficient ferry operations and modernized terminal lighting.
Effective January 2, 2024, service at Main Street Alameda is planned to resume on the Oakland & Alameda, South San Francisco, Alameda Short Hop, Oracle Park, and Chase Center ferry routes. More details will become available closer to that date. During the closure:
Downtown S.F. bound riders will use the Alameda Seaplane Lagoon Ferry Terminal (1701 Ferry Point Rd). Weekday and limited weekend service will be available during the closure.
Ferries to South San Francisco will only be available out of the Oakland Ferry Terminal (10 Clay St). Ferries will NOT stop at the Main Street Alameda Terminal. Free validated parking is available at Washington St. Garage near the Oakland Ferry Terminal.
