Golden Gate Ferry is one of three transportation systems owned and operated by the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District. The other two are the Golden Gate Bridge and Golden Gate Transit bus service. Golden Gate Ferry connects San Francisco to Marin County, California. Funding for the ferry service is composed primarily of passenger fares and bridge toll subsidies.

Golden Gate Ferry Company was also the name of a subsidiary of the Southern Pacific Railroad which operated automobile ferries between San Francisco, Berkeley and Sausalito before the opening of the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Golden Gate Ferry serves Larkspur and Sausalito in Marin County and San Francisco.

Golden Gate Ferry operates regular passenger ferry service from Larkspur and Sausalito to the San Francisco Ferry Building. It also operates limited service from Larkspur to AT&T Park, including for all San Francisco Giants baseball home games. Supplemental service is provided for special events, such as the annual Bay to Breakers footrace.

Note: Schedule information listed below is current as of 28 December 2015.

On weekday mornings, one trip each on Golden Gate Transit Routes 24 and 97 provide supplemental service before the first ferry departure from the Larkspur Ferry Terminal to the San Francisco Financial District.
