Hyannis is home to our main island ferry terminal. Nantucket has a special place in our heart – we’ve been providing seasonal ferry service since 1973 and year-round service since December 1995. With multiple daily departures, and upwards of nine in the summer, we’ve got you covered no matter what your schedule to Nantucket is. When you get to the island, cruising into Nantucket Harbor, you will pass Brant Point Lighthouse, completed in 1759. Many visitors love to take photos of the lighthouse from our boat, or you might choose to walk to this lighthouse which is a very short distance from Straight Wharf. You know, they say when you leave Nantucket and ‘round Brant Point, throw a penny in the water and it will guarantee your return!
