Very nice 45 minute ride to Martha's Vineyard. Food, drink and bathroom facilities are available on the ferry; You can sit outside and enjoy the fresh air, or sit inside.

We travelled on the Island Queen Ferry in August and had a great time. Very informal and punctual. Great trip for children.

Falmouth has 3 ferries, but I prefer the Island Queen to the others. The boat is a very manageable size, it goes right to Oak Bluffs from Falmouth Harbor. Bring your bike (additional charge like on the other ferries).

What can you say about a ferry. It took us quickly and efficiently to Martha's Vineyard and back. Staff were exceptionally friendly. Local, with local knowledge.

A beautiful ride across from Falmouth to Martha's Vineyard. Faster than the regular ferry and clean. Has a little snack area and a few tables in the front. Worth the money.

This costs a little more than the trip from Woods Hole but it is quicker and well run. But there is a $15 parking charge followed by a 200 yards walk to the dock.
