Cape and Islands Transportation
Steamship Authority Ferry The Steamship Authority runs ferry service from the Cape to both Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. I've taken these ferries many time, and they are quick, clean, and a lot of fun! Not only do you get to a gorgeous island, you also get a "free" cruise as well. The entire journey is a fun ride through gorgeous landscapes.
Note there is both a slow (normal) car ferry as well as a "fast ferry" which does not take vehicles. The fast ferry is faster, of course, but also costs more.
Looking for a truly authentic New England gift? Clearly Cranberry soap is handmade in Massachusetts! Cranberries are a New England tradition and this clear red soap smells just like sweet cranberry sauce. Yum!
