How do you get to Nantucket and or Martha’s Vineyard, and do I need to take my car?
Generally, for a day trip to the islands you do not need a car. There is great public transportation on the islands plus many options for livery services, bike, moped and car rentals. There is seasonal passenger service with a limited number of trips to Nantucket from Harwichport about a 15-minute drive away. From Hyannis (½-hour drive) ferries go to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket on a more regular service throughout the day. The last option is to drive to Falmouth (a little over an hour drive) to take a short boat trip to Martha’s Vineyard.
