Overall, would normally not leave a review on a ferry. But the staff was so friendly upon arriving and during the cruise to the island of Martha’s Vinyard. We enjoyed the outside deck in the sun, with a few snacks from the concession stand on the cruise. The cleanliness was on point. And it was a very enjoyable 45 min cruise there and back! Martha’s Vinyard was an added bonus to our trip to Cape Cod!

Haven't been on many ferries so can't compare but best experience so far. Tickets were easy to purchase. The ferry was easy to navigate inside. They have food & drinks for purchase and beautiful views heading to and from Martha's Vineyard. Our ferries were both on-time and was. It crowded but we went in mid-August.

Traveled 2 hours from Rockport to get to Martha's Vinyard. We had a car rented for the day on the island. The ferry service didn't think to tell people (post it on schedule or online) trying to catch a ferry that the town would have all roads blocked to the ferry for a marathon. Only to reopen them at 10 am. Then not bother to notify people that they have to drive 17 mins away to get a bus to transport you back to the ferry because they don't allow you to park your car there. We had to leave due to lack of time. We never made it to the island. Awful customer service to not notify people ahead of time. Cost us 312.00, Thanks!

Total disaster.Spent unnecessary time in bus lines.Poor communication or lack of communication. Got on the wrong bus becuz poor communication.Several boats canceled for whatever reason.Boats working were totally packed.No seats & had to stand the entire trip to MV.Never again.Can't imagine what it's like on weekends.

the ferry runs every day unless there is bad weather. It changes hour to hour if it is windy so you have to keep checking the Marthas Vineyard Steamship web page

Saam Greenman | Sep 10, 2019

Why would you want to pay a transient boat fee to take the ferry over when you could just take your boat there.

I believe that you can park in a satellite site and take the shuttle to the ferry .Try the Steamship Authority website

We are looking to take the ferry with 2 motorcycle/motorscooter during the 4th of July week, do we need a reservation and, can we bring our small dog. Do we need reservation for dog??

dan naticchioni | Sep 10, 2019

That's is correct for further info go to www.steamshipauthority.com. you can book online there. I think you will need to wait until January 9 to book, because that's when they start booking the second half of the year

do motorcycles need reservations?

Robert Landry | Sep 10, 2018
Randall pelletier | Sep 10, 2018

I will suggest that you get one. But I'm sure that if they are accepting stand by vehicles you should get on without one . Friday, Saturday and Monday I would definitely recommend you get reservations .They usually di reservations only and don't take any stand by in season

Can you bring car seats on the ferry?

Julie Wamburu | Sep 10, 2018
Randall pelletier | Sep 10, 2018

Yes either way on your vehicle or carry on . They are very accommodating . you can take a dog and bicycles also
