What documents are required to cross the Canada-US border by sea or land
Upvote:1
From Visa Waiver Program (emphasis mine):
In order to travel without a visa on the VWP, you must have authorization through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) prior to boarding a U.S. bound air or sea carrier.
If you have an Australian passport and an ESTA, you can enter the US via the Clipper ferry. You will be required to clear US CBP either on arrival in Seattle, or on departure in Victoria.

The answer to your question may be found at https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/1258/~/esta---traveling-to-u.s.-by-land:
Do I need ESTA to enter the United States by land?
No. If you are coming by land you do not need to apply for ESTA.
Note: VWP citizens do not need an ESTA to travel on the ferries between Vancouver and Victoria, BC and Washington state. They are treated as a land border port.
You do not need ESTA or any other document aside from your passport.
As I understand it, if you don't have ESTA authorization or a visa, you'll need to pay $6 for an I-94 form.
