Getting To Nantucket

Getting to Nantucket is easy, as there are many modes of transportation to get you there. Fundamentally, you get to Nantucket by either ferries or plane. Depending on your point of origin, and especially during the summer months, multiple airlines have direct flights from such cities as Boston, New York, Washington, DC, and others. American Airlines, Delta and JetBlue all service Nantucket during the summer, with JetBlue having the most complete schedule of non-Stop flights. In addition, Nantucket is readily accessible from Hyannis by both air and ferries, with hourly flights to Nantucket by multiple airlines, and hourly fast ferries (50 minutes travel time) by both the Steamship Authority and Hy-Line Cruise Line. Prices for the ferries vary from $69 - $77 for adult fares, and $35 - $51 for children aged 5-12. Bicycles are extra, and typically cost $ 7 each way, however, to the delight of pet owners, pets are always free.

Taking your car to Nantucket is a totally different experience. There is only one car ferry that serves the island, and the cost is $450 to $500 round trip during the summer months. Nevertheless, price is not the major problem. Instead, securing a reservation to travel with your car to Nantucket on your desired dates can be difficult.

If you are planning to travel to Nantucket with a car, and desire a reservation with a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and/or Monday departure to or from the island, then, you better book your reservation in January. Reservations to the general public open the third Tuesday in January for web based reservations, and on the phone the last Tuesday of January. If you will be renting in Nantucket during the summer, my strong recommendation is that you make your car reservation first, and then worry about your rental property. You can do so, by first creating and account at New User? , if you do not already have one, and then jumping in as early as possible on the third Tuesday of January to make your summer reservation.
