To avoid the bumper to bumper Cape Cod traffic and the endless construction zones from the City of Providence and down I-195 East through Massachusetts! You can avoid driving 50 to 100 extra miles into Massachusetts to the other ferries. Our fast ferry service offers less driving, convenient dockside parking and advance reservations - Martha's Vineyard Fast Ferry is the most convenient and quickest way to get to and from the island!

Before our service began last year most folks would fly into Boston and then would take a 2-hour bus ride to Woods Hole, MA. Now you can fly into Providence (PVD) and conveniently connect with our fast ferry to Martha's Vineyard via our Shuttle Service; our terminal is only 14 miles from the Providence Airport! You will also find that airfares into the Providence Airport are usually cheaper than Boston Logan Airport.

We offer a Shuttle Service to and from the Providence Airport which makes getting to Martha's Vineyard even easier! Reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance. See our Providence Airport page for additional information.

The Kingston Station is the closest. Our ferry is 15 miles away and we offer a Shuttle Service to and from the Kingston Train Station. Reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance. See our Amtrak page for additional information.

In Rhode Island: The terminal is located in Quonset Point, in the town of North Kingstown. We are approximately 15 minutes from Newport, 10 minutes from Warwick, 20 minutes from Providence, 30 minutes from the border of Connecticut and less than 10 minutes from I-95.
In Martha's Vineyard: We do not have a ferry "terminal" located in Oak Bluffs, but we do have a company representative who is on the dock 60 minutes prior to each departure. The ferry arrives and departs just inside the harbor of the Oak Bluffs Marina, look for our sign on the dock. Everything you need is within walking distance from our dock.

In Rhode Island, we have all dockside parking versus the off-site shuttle parking which the other ferries in Massachusetts offer; we are the only ferry company to offer this convenience. We are also the least expensive parking lot; we charge $10.00 per calendar day with long-term discounts available. Please be prepared to pay by cash when entering the parking lot, we do not accept credit cards for parking.

How long is the trip on the ferry?

All tickets purchased are Non-Refundable; however, tickets may be exchanged for any trip on any date on a standby basis. Tickets are only valid for the year in which they were purchased.

What happens if the ferry is canceled because of weather conditions?

If the ferry is canceled for any reason our policy is as follows:

1. All departing round-trip and one-way tickets from Quonset Point, Rhode Island will be fully refunded, exchanged for a different day or if offered honored on motor coach transportation to an alternate ferry.
