UPDATE: Pensacola Ferry Service

UPDATE: Pensacola Ferry Service Suspended

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Pensacola Bay Cruises made the difficult decision today, Friday, May 14, to suspend ferry service until further notice. Pensacola Bay Cruises apologizes for any inconvenience this may have caused, and they have already begun the process of refunding tickets that were purchased.

“We are working diligently with federal entities for their approval and hope to begin ferry service as soon as possible,” said Joe Asebedo, general manager of Pensacola Bay Cruises.

Anyone with questions should contact Pensacola Bay Cruises at 850-466-3379 or on their Facebook page.

Another notice will be sent when Pensacola Bay Cruises Ferry Service resumes operations, and an update will also be posted on their Facebook page.

After dealing with the traffic on the Garcon Point Bridge I am really excited that the Pensacola Bay Cruises Ferry Service is set to reopen this Friday, May 14. They will be operating seven days a week between Downtown Pensacola and Pensacola Beach. Ferry trips last approximately 50 minutes, and all-day free parking is available at each of the departure sites.

Tickets will cost:

• Adults = $13 each way ($26 roundtrip)
• Seniors (62 and up), military, disabled persons = $10 each way ($20 roundtrip)
• Youth (3-15) = $7.50 each way ($15 roundtrip)
• Children 2 and under are free
• A locals card may be purchased for additional discounts

Additional fare pricing can be found at Fare Pricing for Pensacola Bay Ferry | Pensacola Bay Cruises. Bike and scooter rentals, cycle racks, storage areas and free shuttles by numerous businesses make it easy to enjoy what Downtown Pensacola and Pensacola Beach have to offer. Additionally, many destinations are within walking distance of the ferry dock, so those wanting to explore the area on foot have a variety of options to choose from.
