Travel Note
Since Martha's Vineyard is an island, a ferry is required to get across. There are a few ferry options that you can take to the Vineyard. Each depart from a different place along the Massachusetts and Rhode Island Coast and come into the town of Oak Bluffs on MV. If you do wish to take a car, the only ferry that cars are allowed is the Steamship Authority out of Woods Hole, MA.
Travel Note
The Steamship Authority is the main ferry system that runs to and from the Vineyard. This is also the only ferry that allows you to take your car with you. If you decide to take this ferry, we recommend you take one that comes into Oak Bluffs (rather than Vineyard Haven). The docking location is noted on the ferry schedule.
