FRS Clipper arrival questions
60 minutes before departure. Final boarding call is 20 minutes before departure.
Gates close 15 minutes before departure. Not on board by then and you lose your seat and your fare.
No. The cutoff counts back from the scheduled departure time, not from when the ferry actually leaves, so arrive by the timetable time even when the sailing is reported late.
