Make the Ferry

Will you make your sailing?

Only for iPhone

New: Water Taxi, plus the bus or Link to your dock. Ferry spaces, leave-by times and cameras. Unofficial; always check WSF. Will you make the ferry? Make the Ferry answers the one question every Washington State Ferries rider actually has. Not "when's the next boat," but "if I leave now, will I make this sailing before it fills up?" Most ferry apps show you the raw WSDOT numbers and leave you to guess. Make the Ferry does the math. It combines your live drive time, the boat's real vehicle space, how fast that space is filling, and known delays into one clear answer: your odds of making the sailing, and the exact time you need to leave. Built for how you actually ride the ferry: Will-I-make-it predictions. A real probability for a specific sailing, from where you are right now, in current traffic. Not a schedule. An answer. Leave-by time. The app tells you the exact minute to head out, so you're not sprinting to the dock or leaving an hour early. Live vessel map. Watch every WSF boat move across the Sound in real time on a clean nautical chart. Know where your ferry actually is, not where the schedule says it should be. Terminal cameras. Live views of the holding lanes and approaches, so you can see the queue before you commit to the drive. Delay detection. The app reads the fleet's real positions and flags when a boat is running late, often before the official bulletin catches up. Leave-by reminders. Arm a reminder for a sailing and get a push when it's time to go, or when conditions shift and your window changes. Routes covered: Seattle–Bainbridge, Seattle–Bremerton, Edmonds–Kingston, the full Fauntleroy–Vashon–Southworth triangle, and Point Defiance–Tahlequah. Made by a ferry rider. Make the Ferry comes from a Bainbridge Island native who got tired of missing boats and staring at numbers that didn't mean anything. It's free, it's fast, and it gives you back the time you'd otherwise spend guessing. Stop guessing if you'll make it. Know if you will.
