Cruise Hobbes
![]() What started as a love for our 42 foot Catalina sailboat has morphed into an incredible business adventure!
Hobbes, the fanciful comic stuffed tiger pet of Calvin, is also our sailboat’s name. Acquired in 2011, Hobbes has been our home for months at a time, taken us on 1000 mile journeys, helped us find our new home in Gig Harbor, and introduced us to countless new friends. She (always for a boat even though Hobbes is a “he”) was built in 1989 and commissioned in Port Angeles. Continuously in the Northwest, she is in fantastic shape for a 31 year old yacht.
On a fateful voyage in the San Juans a few years ago, a passenger and close friend of ours made the utterance that we should “do this as a living”; Meaning, share our beloved boat with others for pay. A shocking concept, but now a reality. In a few short years, Cruise Hobbes has become our livelihood. Based in Gig Harbor, we take up to six passengers out for a few hours, or a few days, and let then experience Hobbes on the water. To a person, everyone seems to enjoy the adventure. Of course, whether an hour, or more, we ply our guests with flavorful treats and beverages to help them enjoy their time. Summer, winter, spring and fall are all candidates for experiences on Hobbes as we are heated and protected from the elements.
Cruisehobbes.com is our website so take a peak and see what plans may evolve for you.
Sincerely,
Frank & Karen

Kitsap Transit
![]() Kitsap Transit has been operating friendly, convenient public transit since 1983. We pride ourselves on providing a reliable service to Kitsap County’s commuter base and a sustainable, green travel option for the environmentally conscious. Whether you’re catching a bus for work or taking a scenic ferry trip, we strive to create enjoyable experiences for our riders. Specialized services are available for commuters and for qualified elderly and disabled riders. Bus Service Planning/Improvements Passenger-only ferry projects Administration Quarterly System Report Funding Our History Transit in Kitsap County prospered in the 1920s, 30s and 40s, particularly with the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard as a primary naval port. The county's economy declined between the1950s and 70s, mirroring the ups and downs seen on a national level. In 1982, voters formed the new public transportation authority and authorized 0.3 percent of sales tax funding to support it. The system carried around 600,000 riders yearly. Today, Kitsap Transit transports more than 3.5 million riders a year, backed by a sales tax of 0.8 percent for transit and 0.3 percent sales tax for passenger-only ferries.
