Martha's Vineyard Ferry (Schedule, Rates & Tickets) | Rhode Island Fast Ferry (2024)

Yes, all our vessels and facilities are ADA compliant.

Our parking for Martha’s Vineyard ferry is the closest it can possibly be to our dock, no need for shuttles or off-site parking. We charge $15.00 per calendar day. Our lot is safe and secure. We have staff on site for most hours of the day, and the gates are locked overnight. However, as in most parking facilities, we ask that you are considerate of others when you park and please lock your vehicle before leaving! There is no designated parking at our dock in Martha’s Vineyard.

If you have reservations (which are highly recommended!), we ask that you arrive to our terminal at least 30-45 minutes prior to departure to park your car, unload your belongings, and check in if needed. We typically start loading 10-15 minutes prior to departure, but we like to recommend plenty of time, so you don’t feel rushed at the start of your vacation.

Currently, there’s not much in the form of refreshments or amenities at our ticket office. We recommend grabbing a bite to eat before arriving in Quonset. We are a few miles away from a town centre and food/beverage amenities. However, we are in the process of building a new terminal which will offer many more amenities for our passengers!

We strongly encourage reservations as many of our trips sell out during peak travel times. Tickets are available for purchase on our website, over the phone, and at our terminal in Quonset Point.

When you make a reservation you will receive a confirmation email. Within the email, there is a QR code we will scan when boarding. You can leave this on your phone and have it ready when boarding, or you can print this out in advance. If neither is an option for you, our ticket agents would be happy to print your tickets inside our Quonset office. Please note, we do not have a ticket office on Martha’s Vineyard, so please have your email ready on your phone or printed.

All tickets are non-refundable unless you purchase ticket assurance. If you would like a refundable option, you must purchase ticket assurance at the time of your reservation.

Get reimbursed up to 100% with Ticket Assurance for only an additional %15 of your reservation or have the ability to move your ticket to another date, based on availability and fare price difference, for no additional change fee. If you can’t attend the experience for any reason, such as, illness, airline delays, traffic accidents, or weather emergencies, you’ll be reimbursed for this purchase. Ticket assurance protects your financial investment of the tickets including taxes and shipping costs (up to the amount of your total transaction cost less your assurance costs) should you not be able to attend for any reason. Ticket Assurance must be exercised at least 2 hours prior to your scheduled departure.

If you opted out of ticket assurance, all tickets are non-refundable; however, we understand that plans may change! So, tickets may be modified for any trip on any date in the current operating season, as long as there is available space. Just give our office a call at least 24 hours before your departure time, and our ticket agents will be happy to make any changes to your reservation, for a $10 modification fee per ticket.

We will always make our best effort to notify you of cancellations or service delays via phone call, text, and email. While these cancellations or delays affect only around 1% of our annual trips, please ensure that you share accurate contact information with us at the time of booking. If we cancel, we will offer you a full refund of your ferry reservation.

Absolutely! Group discounts are available for many of our trips (15 or more passengers traveling together with a single method of payment). Please call our office and ask to speak to our group manager about rates and blackout dates.

The ferry ride takes approximately 95 minutes; however, this can vary depending on weather and tide conditions! We begin boarding 15 minutes prior to departure.

Absolutely! Pets are permitted on the ferry at no additional cost. If you are traveling with your furry friend, we ask that they remain on a leash or in a carrier for the entire ride and that you’re courteous of those around you.

Of course, Martha’s Vineyard is an awesome place to ride your bike! Bikes are $8 each way. We can also accommodate bikes with trailers ($12 each way).

We have light fare (i.e., chips, cookies, and granola bars) and a full bar. You are welcome to bring your own food, but we ask that you refrain from enjoying your own alcoholic beverages until reaching Martha’s Vineyard.

For the comfort and safety of all our passengers traveling to and from Martha’s Vineyard, we ask that you refrain from smoking (no vaping or e-cigs either!) on the ferry.
