David Welch Whether you’re visiting the Island for the first time, are a regular, are coming for the day or a month, there are many resources available to help you plan a perfect experience! mvy.com/plan GETTING HERE Because Martha’s Vineyard is an island, the first thing you need to do is figure out how you’re getting here. And you’ve got two choices: boat or plane, unless you plan on swimming. FERRY Year-round ferry service is provided 365 days by the Steamship Authority in Woods Hole (a charming little village in Cape Cod, MA), and they are the only ferry service that is equipped to bring vehicles over to the Island – so if you plan on having your car with you, you must reserve a space with the Steamship Authority well in advance of your trip, since there is only a limited number of cars that can come over on each ferry. Seasonal ferry service for passengers only is available from mid-May into the fall from Falmouth, Hyannis and New Bedford in Massachusetts; North Kingston, Rhode Island; New York City; and Northern New Jersey. See all Ferry Service starting on Page 9. PLANE Cape Air flies year-round and direct from Martha’s Vineyard to Boston’s Logan Airport and NYC’s JFK Airport. Seasonal service is available from Hyannis and Nantucket Massachusetts; Providence, RI; Westchester, New York; and Washington D.C. Jet Blue, Delta, American Airlines and Elite Airways also offer seasonal service direct from New York. See all Air Travel Page 17. PRIVATE TRAVEL Looking for more exclusive travel options?
