Getting Here is Part of the Journey
Maybe it’s the sun on your face. Maybe it’s the wind in your hair… the distant cries of gulls overhead, or the briny scent of the churning sea. Whatever the reason, the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard does more than take you to Oak Bluffs or Vineyard Haven; it transports you… escorts you to a different, more carefree state of mind. The ocean air and the beauty of the sea will make you realize your vacation’s already begun, even before you make landfall on this classic island paradise.
Welcome, one and all, to the magic of Martha’s Vineyard.
Getting to the Island by Air and by Sea
The Harbor View Hotel is located in Edgartown, on the island of Martha’s Vineyard. Our unique island locale means there are only two ways to arrive and depart – by sea or by air. With pristine beaches, shops, restaurants, and activities just outside our doors, we encourage you to leave the car behind. Should you need to travel to other parts of the island, we can arrange for rental cars or taxis.
The most popular ways to get travel to the island is on the The Steamship Authority, a year round ferry service to Martha’s Vineyard from Woods Hole on Cape Cod and also the only option if you’re planning to bring your car to the Island. Advance reservations are required.
