Guemes Island Ferry Electronic Ticketing System

We're thrilled to announce the launch of our new electronic ticketing system, provided by Anchor. Anchor's prestigious clientele includes Pierce County Ferries, San Francisco Bay Ferry, NYC Ferry, Fisher Island Ferry, and many more.

Soon, you’ll have the convenience of pre-purchasing ferry tickets via Skagit County's website using Anchor's user-friendly, mobile-ready platform. Upon purchase, you'll receive a QR code, simplifying boarding procedures.

For those who prefer in-person transactions, tickets will still be available at the ferry office in Anacortes, located within the main lobby of the terminal building. Acceptable forms of payment at the ferry terminal include credit, debit, contactless (apple pay and google pay). No cash will be accepted at the ferry terminal; however, in-person cash payments can be accepted at 1800 Continental Place, Mount Vernon, WA, M-F 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
