Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority |  Clearwater Ferry

All aboard the Clearwater Ferry. 

Here’s something you don’t see every day: PSTA taking to the water. That’s right—we’ve expanded beyond buses to bring you our first-ever waterborne transportation service, connecting Clearwater and Clearwater Beach in partnership with the existing Clearwater Ferry operator. 

Picture this: instead of sitting in beach traffic, you’re cruising across the water with the Gulf breeze in your hair, watching dolphins play alongside the boat (yes, that really happens). It’s not just transportation—it’s part of the adventure. 

Where we’ll take you 

The ferry connects you to all your favorite Clearwater Beach destinations: waterfront restaurants, beachside hotels, and attractions like the famous Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Skip the hassle of finding parking and let us deliver you right to the heart of the action. 

When we sail 

We operate Thursday through Sunday, 10:00 am to 8:00 pm, from February through Labor Day. Because let’s be honest—that’s when you most want to avoid sitting in beach-bound traffic anyway. 

What it costs 

Adults (9+): $5.00 per trip 
Seniors, disabled passengers, and students with valid ID: $2.50 per trip 
Children 8 and under: Free

Coming soon: Dunedin route 

We’re not stopping at Clearwater Beach. Stay tuned for updates on when we’ll be adding service to Dunedin—because good ideas have a way of spreading down the coast.
