By Ferry: The most popular way to reach Nantucket is by ferry. You can take a high-speed passenger-only ferry from Hyannis, which takes about one hour, or a traditional ferry that takes approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes. Ferries also operate from other locations like New Bedford and Harwichport.
Driving to the Ferry: If you choose the ferry option, you can drive to Hyannis and park at the terminal. Be sure to book your ferry tickets in advance, especially during peak seasons, as they can sell out quickly.
