As a general note, the weather on Nantucket can change quickly and sometimes unpredictably. We strongly recommend including a bit of "fudge factor" in your travel plans to account for any travel delays.

Traveling by Plane

We recommend you book early if you intend to fly since there are fewer flights in and out daily due to the off-season schedule. JetBlue is flying direct from New York and from Boston. Cape Air is the primary airline during the off-season months. They fly 10 seater planes, which take approximately 45 minutes from Boston. The airport is located mid-island, but Taxis and Ubers are available to take you to your hotel.

Traveling by Ferry

If you are not flying, you are ferrying! There are two different fast ferry (passenger only) options out of Hyannis, MA (Steamship Authority and HyLine Cruises). Please check their respective websites for the most up to date information on schedules. The car ferry takes 2+ hours to travel from Hyannis to Nantucket. Both ferry companies have car lots to park your cars. You may want to research and purchase parking in advance if you want to park nearby the ferry terminals.

The car ferry takes about 2 hours to travel from Hyannis to Nantucket.

Pro tip: You can take the car ferry as a pedestrian

(it is double the travel time, but half the cost of the fast ferry ticket)

Since our wedding venue is close to town, you do not need a car on the island. However, if you have some extra time and would like to explore and drive around the island, a car is the best way to do that. There are many rental car companies on island. It is also fun to explore with bikes and there are several bike companies in town as well.

Seastreak Ferries is another passenger ferry option that leaves out of New Bedford, MA. We have never done this, so unfortunately not much advice to offer, but the ferry docks where Steamship docks.

Traveling from Boston to Hyannis

There are a couple of bus lines that run year-round from Logan Airport and South Station to the transportation terminal in Hyannis. Both ferries are approximately a mile walk from the transportation terminal.
