Tap once with your own Clipper card or contactless bank card or device. From Sausalito and Tiburon, pay when you arrive in San Francisco. Bank cards charge adult Clipper fares; eligible discounts require a discount Clipper card or discounted ticket. Paper adult tickets, sold at the ticket machines in San Francisco, Larkspur and Sausalito, cost more than the Clipper fare; the fare breakdown shows both. Buy Golden Gate Angel Island return tickets before leaving the mainland.

Terminals, tickets & return planning
How does the change work?
Take Golden Gate Ferry from Sausalito to San Francisco, then SF Bay Ferry to Jack London Square. Leave the first boat and walk to the next gate at the Ferry Building. The trip steps show the connection and boarding allowance; follow signs for the gates on your sailing.
How do I pay each operator?
SF Bay Ferry uses tap-on and tap-off with the same Clipper card or contactless bank card. Golden Gate Ferry uses one tap; Sausalito departures collect payment on arrival in San Francisco. Each rider needs their own card or device. Follow each operator’s ticket rules if using tickets.
How do I plan the way home?
If you need a ferry return, add it before committing to time ashore: both return legs need to fit. A later boat from Sausalito or Oakland does not by itself confirm a complete connection home. One-way planning remains available.
