If you are transporting a trailer or driving a vehicle with a long overhang past the rear axles, we strongly suggest you travel aboard the Whatcom County ferry at a tide no lower than 4 feet.
Tides lower than 4 feet produce an approach angle too steep to be corrected by ramp adjustment and damage to your trailer or vehicle and/or our equipment may occur.
Be advised, tide restrictions for weight also apply. We ask that you take both weight and length past rear axles into account before traveling aboard the Whatcom County ferry.
Cash, Check, Credit and Debit cards can be used on the Ferry as well as at the Public Works Administration building to purchase Whatcom County Ferry punchcards. For credit and debit cards, a 2.35% convenience fee will be added to the purchase price with a minimum fee of $2. Whatcom County does not receive any portion of the convenience fees. All sales are final and non-refundable.
*NOTE* Single-use passes may only be purchased on the ferry.
