## What is FerryWatch?

Washington State Ferries vehicle reservations sell out weeks ahead — but people cancel constantly, and those spots go straight back into the pool. They're usually gone within minutes, because whoever is refreshing the page at that moment gets them.

FerryWatch does the refreshing for you.

Pick your route, your date, and the exact sailings that would work. FerryWatch checks those sailings around the clock and sends you a push notification the moment vehicle space appears — including at 2am, when most cancellations you'd otherwise miss happen.

HOW IT WORKS

• Choose a route, a date, and your vehicle size
• Tick the sold-out sailings you'd take
• Get a push the moment one of them frees up
• Tap the alert and book it on WSF's own site

WHAT IT DOESN'T DO

FerryWatch never makes a reservation for you. Booking always happens on WSF's website, by you. This app watches and tells you — that's all.

We also won't promise you'll get the spot. Space can disappear within minutes of appearing, and alerts depend on WSF's website, your network, and Apple's notification service. FerryWatch is a much better chance, not a guarantee. Don't make it your only plan.

ROUTES

Only two WSF routes take vehicle reservations, and FerryWatch covers both:

• Anacortes ↔ San Juan Islands (Friday Harbor, Orcas, Lopez, Shaw)
• Port Townsend ↔ Coupeville

NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING

There's no sign-up, no password, and no email address. We never ask who you are, and there's no advertising or analytics in the app.

FREE AND PRO

Free covers one active watch on one sailing, with push alerts included — the alerts are never the paid part.

FerryWatch Pro removes the limits: watch as many trips as you like, and select every sailing that works for you instead of just one. Most trips are a there-and-back, so Pro pays for itself the first time you need to cover both directions.

SUBSCRIPTION

FerryWatch Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or annually. It renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your device's account settings after purchase.
