What airport do we fly into?
Guests can fly into either Boston Logan Airport or TF Green in Providence, RI. There are also flights directly to Martha's Vineyard from LGA, JFK, and Logan Airport.
If you are flying into Boston Logan Airport, there is a direct shuttle to Martha's Vineyard Ferry. The last shuttle leaves at 6:15 pm. It is about 1 hr 40 mins in duration. Please keep this in mind when planning flight arrival time. Would recommend purchasing shuttle tickets when booking flights ($32.00 one way).
There is also a car service company (patriotslimousine.com) that can assist with transport from airport to MV ferry.
How do you get to Martha's Vineyard?
Via car rental, airport service, or Peter Pan shuttle from question above, guests will need to arrive at Woods Hole for ferry to Martha's Vineyard Island. If you are arriving via Peter Pan shuttle, the shuttle will bring you right to the boat. We recommend purchasing ferry tickets online ahead of time to make things easier.
If guests are renting a car at the airport, and do not plan on taking it on island, you can park your car at the Palmer Avenue Woods Hole parking lot for a nightly fee (approximately $20/night). A complimentary bus will then take you to Woods Hole ferry (they run every 15 minutes or so).
The 45-minute ferry will go from Woods Hole to either Oak Bluffs or Vineyard Haven, MV. The town you arrive in does not really matter, except with consideration to where you might be staying. Ferry tickets do not need to be purchased far in advance unless you are bringing a car on the island. If that is the case, a car reservation must be made well in advance (several weeks-month) ahead of time. If you are bringing a car on the ferry, you must arrive 30 minutes prior to departure. The last ferry is at 9:45 pm to Vineyard Haven. Passenger tickets are $10 one way.

How to get around the island?
If you are not bringing over a car, there are several options for getting around MV. There are Ubers/Lyfts available; however, would recommend giving them more time for arrival than you would a more urban location. For taxis use Adamcabmv.com (508-627-4462) or Martha's Vineyard Taxi (508) 693-8660 or (508) 627-4677. Walk up taxi locations are available at The Steamship Authority Ferry Vineyard Haven as well as 7 Dock St. in Edgartown. If you are planning on staying within walking distance of its stops, there is also the local bus that departs from ferry terminal. Routes/fares can be found at https://www.vineyardtransit.com/ Lastly, we will have a few family cars on the island and will make ourselves as available as possible to help give rides!
