BREMERTON, Wash. – Starting on Monday, August 7, Kitsap Fast Ferries will not dock at Pier 50 because a contractor for Washington State Ferries will be moving Rich Passage 1 in the dock at Pier 54. the passenger-only ferry facility to the north side of Colman Dock next to the fire station.
During this period, Kitsap Transit will temporarily use a dock at Pier 54 under an agreement with Argosy Cruises. Half a mile north of Pier 50, the dock at Pier 54 is next to the famous Ye Olde Curiosity Shop and a Harley-Davidson store.

As construction proceeds at Colman Dock, Kitsap Fast Ferries may revisit its departure and arrival times.
