About this crossing

Many sailings on this route stop at Vashon on the way, which is why a typical crossing takes 40 minutes; the timetable flags the direct ones, which take about 30. When a boat serves both, Fauntleroy loads Vashon-bound cars ahead of those for Southworth. Walk-on passengers pay here for the round trip, whereas vehicle tickets on this route are one way and drivers pay again at Southworth for the ride back. Travellers stopping on the island need a Vashon ticket instead, which WSF sells as a round trip for vehicles as well as passengers.
