island ferries
Visit Both Islands on the Same Day!
You can enjoy the very best of both islands – those exciting differences that make each island a very special place – on a one-day, round-trip excursion from Hyannis.
Overview
The Best of Both Worlds
Around the Sound
Our exclusive “Around the Sound” cruise departs Hyannis for a mid-morning arrival on island, then cruise mid-afternoon to the other island, and as the sun starts down over Nantucket Sound and the seascapes soften, you sail towards Hyannis’ twinkling lights. Nantucket, with its proud whaling heritage, has legions of admirers who return again and again. Martha’s Vineyard, with its six unique towns, each with wonderful character of its own, has carved its own place in American history.
The “Around the Sound” cruise allows time on both Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard for taking bus tours of each island, renting bikes, shopping, relaxing on the beach or enjoying the delectable cuisine each island has to offer.
