SF Bay Ferry
Oakland & Alameda Ferry Schedule
SF Ferry Building → Alameda Main Street → Oakland (Jack London Square). About 25 min on the water. Adult fare $5.10.
One of the busiest ferries on the Bay links downtown San Francisco with Jack London Square in Oakland and Main Street in Alameda. For many East Bay commuters it is the calm alternative to BART under the Bay: a seat by the window, a coffee, and the skyline on the way in.
Some boats run SF–Oakland direct, others stop at Alameda first. Check the column for your terminal in the timetable below. On Giants game days extra boats run to Oracle Park; the board shows them when they are in the schedule.
