The 5:35 Retro Ride

Our 75-minute voyage from San Francisco to Larkspur via Tiburon is a deliberate nod to a slower era. As we glide past the skyline at a nostalgic pace, the commute transforms into an after-work ritual. Lean back into the rhythmic hum of the water, feel the Pacific breeze on the deck, and head to the bar for a drink. While you are unwinding from a long day, we provide the space to breathe that the fast ferry sometimes forgets. Why rush when you can enjoy being out on the Bay today?

Experience the magic of the Bay and savor the views on our Retro Ride for your trip back to Larkspur. Here are the details:

  • Departs Gate B at the San Francisco Ferry Terminal.
  • Departures Monday through Friday at 5:35 pm.
  • Not crowded: This ferry has a higher capacity. Some afternoon Larkspur trips are expected to sell out. This ferry is an alternative if you don't want to rush home and want to secure your seat.
  • Our concession on board provides premium coffee, snacks, beer, wine, mixed drinks, etc. With insta concession loyalty program, you can get a discount. Ask your attendant at the bar about the program!
