Travel Note
The Ferry
Sit back, order chowder, there is a ferry to Nantucket. There are two ferry companies that ride from Hyannis to Nantucket (they are about 200 yards from each other on the harbor). - Steamship Authority: https://www.steamshipauthority.com/ - Hy-line Cruises: https://hylinecruises.com/ You'll have the option to take the slow boat (2 hours) or a fast boat (1 hour). There are lots of overnight parking options in Hyannis for those driving or renting a car from an airport - range from $10-30 per night. You can book through both the Hy-line and Steamship Authority in advance or find parking day of.
Rental Car
On Island Cars
Nantucket is rather small and easy to get around. There are taxis, ubers and a great island shuttle service that make getting from point A to point B very easy. If you would still like to bring your car - you can book a car reservation on a slow ferry. We recommend doing so far in advance as the spots are limited. Nantucket has a few rental companies with cars and mopeds available. - Nantucket Rent A Car: http://www.nantucketislandrentacar.com/ - Nantucket Windmill Auto Rental: http://www.nantucketautorental.com/ - Affordable Rentals: http://www.nantucketislandrentacar.com/
