Question

What is the best way to get to Nantucket?

Answer

Nantucket is accessible by ferry or plane. Ferries run from several locations, including Hyannis, Harwich, and New Bedford. The Hy-Line Cruises and Steamship Authority are the two main ferry services. The trip from Hyannis usually takes about 1 hour. Parking is available at the ferry ports to leave your car on the mainland. Ferry tickets and parking should be planned at least 1 month in advance. There are also flights available from major cities. For those traveling by air, Nantucket Memorial Airport is a short drive from The Nantucket Hotel. Uber & Lyft are available on the island. We recommend arranging your travel early to ensure a smooth journey.

Question

Do I need to bring my car to nantucket?

Answer

We suggest not bringing a car. Most visitors find that they don't need a car on Nantucket and can get by with alternative transportation methods. However, if you prefer the flexibility of having your own vehicle, just be prepared for the additional cost and logistical considerations. Exploring the Island: Nantucket is relatively small (about 30 miles long and 10 miles wide), so you can easily explore it by bike, scooter, or even on foot. The island has a robust bike rental system and many scenic paths. Public Transportation: Nantucket has a public bus system called the Nantucket Regional Transit Authority (NRTA) that can take you to various parts of the island. There are also taxis and rideshare services available. Car Rentals: If you prefer the convenience of having your own vehicle, you can rent a car on the island. There are several rental agencies in Nantucket Town, but it’s a good idea to book in advance. Parking: Parking in Nantucket Town can be challenging due to limited space and high demand. If you bring your own car, you'll need to find parking and might have to deal with limited or costly parking options. Ferry Considerations: If you decide to bring your car, you'll need to make reservations on the ferry that allows cars, such as the Steamship Authority. This option is more expensive and requires advance planning.
