MV Napa (1999 – present, previously MV Snohomish) is a passenger-only fast ferry operated by Golden Gate Ferry in the northern Bay Area in California, United States.
The vessel is named after Napa County, one of the member counties of the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District. Napa was purchased in 2009 from Washington State Ferries (along with {{MV|Chinook}}){{Cite web |agency=Associated Press |date=2009-01-21 |title=State sells ferries Chinook and Snohomish |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/state-sells-ferries-chinook-and-snohomish/ |access-date=2024-02-10 |website=The Seattle Times |language=en-US}} and entered service with Golden Gate Transit after a refit.[http://goldengate.org/news/ferry/mvnapa_arrival.php MV Napa Arrives], Golden Gate Transportation District The Napa entered service as a substitute for {{MV|Del Norte}} when that vessel began undergoing an engine replacement in June 2009. After Chinook returned from its refit, Napa went in for a full refitting.
Previously, as Snohomish, it was mothballed for years at the WSF Shipyard at Eagle Harbor, Bainbridge Island. Washington State Ferries announced that she was returned to service in November 2007 to replace {{MV|Klickitat||2}} on the Keystone-Port Townsend run.
