Ferry Dock Funded for St Pete to Tampa | Tampa News

PSTA just landed $850K in federal funds to build a permanent ferry dock at St. Pete Pier—complete with ticket booths and security—setting the stage for year-round, seven-day-a-week service between Tampa and St. Pete. With two ferries already being prepped and a third on the horizon, this new terminal will be vital to launching the affordable ($10 one-way) route later this year. The city’s contributed $450K toward planning, and the full project is budgeted between $2.6M and $3.1M. Until then, a temporary dock near The Vinoy Resort will serve as a stopgap. This isn’t just a ferry—it’s the foundation for a future water transit network across Tampa Bay. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
