New Location Proposed for St. Pete Pier Ferry Dock

St. Pete explores permanent ferry dock at St. Pete Pier for service to downtown Tampa

Plans are advancing for a permanent ferry dock at the St. Pete Pier near the Museum of History, giving the Tampa Bay Ferry (formerly the Cross Bay Ferry) a long-term home in downtown St. Petersburg. The passenger ferry links downtown St. Pete and Tampa.

After evaluating five potential sites, the Pier location was selected for its accessibility and compatibility with nearby amenities. The dock, estimated to cost between $2.6 and $3 million according to a study by McLaren Engineering Group (now part of KCI), will include ADA-compliant access, a security gate, and a ticket booth.
