**MV *Napa*** (2009 – present, previously **MV *Snohomish***) is a [passenger-only fast ferry](/source/Passenger-Only_Fast_Ferry-class_ferry) operated by [Golden Gate Ferry](/source/Golden_Gate_Ferry) in the northern [Bay Area](/source/Bay_Area) in [California](/source/California), United States.

The vessel is named after [Napa County](/source/Napa_County%2C_California), one of the member counties of the [Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District](/source/Golden_Gate_Bridge%2C_Highway_and_Transportation_District). *Napa* was purchased in 2009 from [Washington State Ferries](/source/Washington_State_Ferries) (along with [MV *Chinook*](/source/MV_Golden_Gate))[2] and entered service with Golden Gate Transit after a refit.[3] The *Napa* entered service as a substitute for [MV *Del Norte*](/source/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](/source/Reserve_fleet) for years at the WSF Shipyard at Eagle Harbor, [Bainbridge Island](/source/Bainbridge_Island%2C_Washington). Washington State Ferries [announced](/source/Steel_Electric_Class_ferry#Withdrawal_from_service) that she was returned to service in November 2007 to replace [*Klickitat*](/source/MV_Klickitat) on the [Keystone](/source/Keystone%2C_Island_County%2C_Washington)-[Port Townsend](/source/Port_Townsend%2C_Washington) run.
