New Bedford Ferry

A special summer rate means that Massachusetts residents can purchase a round-trip cruise aboard the Martha’s Vineyard Express Ferry from New Bedford to the Vineyard for $50 per person during the ferry’s summer schedule running through Sept. 9.

This trims $20 off the regular fare; proper identification and proof of Massachusetts residence will be required at purchase.

The year-round, one-hour ferry between the Island and New Bedford is a high-speed catamaran with a full-service bar and snack bar. For details or tickets, see online mvfastferry.com or call toll free 866-683-3779.
