Since 1818, the vessels of the Steamship Authority and its predecessors have been traveling the waters of Hyannis to Nantucket as well as Woods Hole and Martha's Vineyard.

Our goal is to provide safe, convenient and reliable transportation to island residents and visitors. As the lifeline to the islands, we offer the lowest fares, free wireless internet on vessels and at terminals, year-round service and daily departures for passengers, automobiles and trucks.  Our high-speed passenger-only ferry, M/V Iyanough, takes you from Hyannis to Nantucket in just an hour.

For your convenience, Island tour tickets are available for purchase at our Woods Hole and Hyannis terminals beginning in mid-April and ending in mid-October. Both Islands provide island-wide bus service, plus there are plenty of taxis, car rentals and bike rentals available.

With over 40 years of experience in the group tour business, we offer a discounted rate to tour groups of twenty or more, and have dedicated group sales staff ready to assist you in your trip to the beautiful Islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.
