Skip the stress and enjoy the salt air instead! Your vacation starts the moment you step onto the ferry; our recommendation is the Provincetown Fast Ferry, operated by the Bay State Cruise Company, that leaves from the World Trade Center in the Boston Seaport. It’s fast, friendly, and has served this route for well over a century.

Service typically runs seven days a week. ptownie tip: Purchase your tickets and reserve your place in advance, as it gets crowded in the summer months. Go to https://secure.baystatecruisecompany.com/reserve

***There is an additional ferry from Provincetown to Boston on Mondays at 6:30 am, arriving in Boston at 8:10 am.

Boston Harbor Cruises calls its fast ferry service ASAPtown; it operates the Salacia, the largest and fastest catamaran in North America (sit indoors if you don’t want to get too wet from the spray!), and has a concierge service on board.

Are you closer to Plymouth than Boston? Captain John Boats offers a daily service once per day as well. The boat features a cabin with full galley service and great views of historic Plymouth Harbor and Cape Cod Bay.
