The Pied Piper ferry between Falmouth and Edgartown is now operating on a daily schedule. On Fridays, the last trip to Edgartown leaves Falmouth at 7 p.m. The last trip out of Edgartown on Sunday is at 7:15 p.m. Google falmouthedgartownferry — all one word works best — to book tickets on ine.

The Pied Piper ferry boat ties up at Memorial Wharf right next to the Chappy Ferry. If you don’t need to bring a car to the Islands, this is the ideal way to get yourself or your guests to Chappaquiddick.

Mark your calendars for two important events on Saturdays in July. Hazardous household materials collection on July 15 and the annual Chappaquiddick Island Association meeting on July 22.

Also, keep in mind that on the Fourth of July, Chappy Ferry service is curtailed for vehicles during the parade and fireworks. The ferry stops carrying vehicles at 4:15 p.m. until about an hour after the tail end of the procession passes the top of Daggett street. Foot passengers are carried during that time.

The ferry stops carrying cars a half-hour (8:45 p.m.) before the fireworks start until about an hour after they end. Foot passengers are carried during that time except when the fireworks display is happening.
