Handicap best be prepared the elevator was not working at the time we were there, and there were a lot of stairs. Dogs are accepted on the boat. There is inside seating and outside seating.

Another good trip! Friendly staff. Clean ship. Reasonable fare. Great views. Stayed on schedule. Only downside -- so many rude passengers.

They could easily gouge you on the ticket prices because seriously, how else are you going to get to Nantucket? It costs ~$32/pp for the fast ferry (1 hour) and ~$16 for the slow ferry (just over 2 hours). We took the fast... More

This was after the Holidays and the boat was full. They only had one luggage rack for the boat. We had to carry our luggage up to the upper deck, luckily there was an elevator. The crew told us that they were only allowed one cart for the boat, since the boat was full and there was no room for... More
