Harbor Hopper Adds Saturday Midday Sailings

πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

The Port of Everett and Port of South Whidbey have updated the Harbor Hopper passenger ferry schedule to add Saturday midday sailings starting August 1. The new 1 p.m. departure from Everett and 2 p.m. departure from Langley will join existing 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. sailings on Saturdays.

The change responds to community feedback seeking midday options. The updated schedule also shifts Thursday evening sailings to earlier times, with departures at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. from Everett and 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. from Langley on Thursdays. Service runs through August 2026.

Fares range from $10-$12 one-way or $16-$20 roundtrip, with trips lasting 30-45 minutes. The pilot program, which began June 4, aims to gauge demand for potential future passenger-only ferry service between the two locations.
