Fares as published by the operators, in USD, last checked . Vehicle fares rise in the summer season, and some crossings collect the fare in one direction only — a "No charge" row is the operator's own entry, not a gap.
Drivers pay for this hop before leaving Lopez, at the kiosk in the terminal or online in advance, because WSF collects inter-island vehicle fares only on westbound trips. The ticket is not tied to a destination and is valid between any two islands, which suits a driver planning more than one hop. Anyone on foot or on a bike rides west to Friday Harbor without charge.
