: Here are some ferry frequencies:
: Whidbey-San Juan terminals
: dock-852.0875
: boat1-852.8375
: boat2-851.7875

: The ferries are operated by the state DOT and they have just gone to a new trunked radio system. The ferry system is using some of these frequencies.
: As far as I know the rest of the docks are still using 151.040. Also try 156.975. If you have any questions drop me a line.

I live on San Juan Island and have yet to hear anything on the above 800 MHz freqs related to ferries. I do hear what sounds like
Port Angeles road crews, but I've still got them locked in just in case.

So far ferry agents still use 151.040 for low power handhels, the boat captains use Marine VHF 79 for ship to ship and ship to shore (ferry docks).
I have on occasion heard Ship to ship on VHF 13, and of course Ch's 16 and a couple of others when the ferry captain will talk to a tug or
barge in the way.
