Haines to Skagway Ferry

We left our 27 foot Motorhome in Haines, and took the Fast Ferry over to Skagway last summer. We left in the morning and arrived about 45 minutes later. We spent the better part of the day in Skagway and returned back to Haines later that evening. Skagway is not very big, and is quite walkable. This plan works if you only want to visit Skagway and not make it a stop on a continuing journey. Have a great trip.

We took the ferry last year only in reverse, Skagway to Haines.
We have a 40' MH and that is what we paid for online. Upon arrival they will measure both width and length prior to boarding to double check.
We had no problems getting the "LabLimo" on or off. They do a great job of directing you and watching for problems.
Probably giving them a call will solve the 30' vs 31' problem.
Enjoy the ride!

I'd just use 30'. When we were in Haines we drove to the terminal and talked to them. At that time there was no need to pre book but we did arrive a little early to be near the front.

We were concerned about the ramp situation etc since there was no information on the website and the tides can be extreme. While they are well aware of rig clearances I'd advise anyone to proceed with caution and if concerned stop and they will quickly be there.

Our rig is low and they checked the clearance on and off.

I was amused when later in 2013 the Skagway floating dock sank (it's between shore and the ferry) due to a fresh water supply problem. I'm sure many weren't so amused since it took a number of weeks to refloat. But that is all part of the Alaska trip experience.

We put two 40' DPs on. I don't know if it's the same ferry but I think the problem is in the program, not with your length as they're also putting 40' or 45' freight trucks on the same ferry. I'd call them to see what the problem is.
