We did multiple loops of the harbor with John who pointed out interesting sites along the way and a seal in the water! They provided a Bluetooth speaker and cooler with ice for our BYOB, which was great. They were easy to schedule with and reassuring when the weather was touch and go. Really appreciate Rachel and John - we had a great time and I would definitely recommend for a fun group outing on the water!!

This is a long overdue review for Meaghan in Oak Bluffs! She…read moreis incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, kind, and really takes the time to understand what you need. She makes the whole process of planning a trip and getting on the Hy-Line feel so easy and seamless. The worst part of traveling can sometimes be dealing with people who don't want to be helpful, and Meaghan has been the complete opposite of that (the whole Hy-Line staff this summer has been INCREDIBLE!). She is such a bright, welcoming face (and voice when on the phone!), and she has made every interaction we've had this summer a genuinely pleasant one. A fam favorite MV employee!

Good, fast way to get to Martha's Vineyard (Oak Bluffs) from Hyannis/Barnstable area of Cape Cod…read more The twin hull Vineyard Lady really zips through the water once she clears the harbours. Yeah, it costs a bit more than some other ferries (such as the ones from Woods Hole) but is quite convenient. Simple but comfortable seats onboard on two levels. You can buy snacks & beverages onboard. Great views of the two harbours. Note: The Hy-Cruises ferry docks a few blocks away from where some ferries dock. Remember where to get the ferry for the return trip from Oak Bluffs. Hy-Line offers several parking options. Parking by the ferry docks is iffy but they have plenty of offsite parking at or near 183 Iyannough Road. Shuttle buses will take you to & from the ferry station. You can purchase parking online at the same time you buy the ferry tickets. IMPORTANT: GPS will misdirect you if you put in 183 Iyannough Road. After looking at map apps, I had the GPS take me to Adventure Cafe (225 Iyannough Road) and went down the side street by it, down Transportation Avenue. Looked for the Hy-Line Cruise Parking Lot signs and the parking attendants directed me to a parking spot.

We had a GREAT time sailing on Ishmael when we were on the Vineyard. The boat is an old, true…read morewooden schooner built in 1929, so it's beautiful and has a lot of character. Captain Fred was so much fun (kind of a character himself!) and he's really knowledgable and indulged all my questions, telling me about how the boat works and teaching us a lot. We sailed from Vineyard Haven around Oak Bluffs and then moored near State Beach so we could all jump off the boat and go swimming. We had lunch on the boat and then sailed back. I highly recommend Ishmael for anyone who wants a unique, and genuine experience. Since the boat is privately owned, there is nothing commercial about it and you get a real sense of sailing the way the locals do it. And if there's good wind, there is nothing like skimming through the waves, feeling the spray of the ocean, as you take in the beautiful view.

If you are in Cape Cod, and you want to catch fish, book this guy immediately…read more We went for a morning, half day trip on a Tuesday, and we were taken out to do some fishing off of the boat while moving, followed by deep sea fishing. Is this a luxury fishing yacht? No, not at all. What it is, is a fishing boat with a paid of totally hands on, helpful guys, who will make sure you catch fish. Lots of fish. They take care off all of the details for you from setting up the lines to baiting it (until you feel like you want to do it yourself), and taking the fish off the line. For the moving fishing, I kid you not, I had a bite within 30 seconds of casting my line and brought up a bluefish. We caught a few, but not a ton of fish while moving. When we went to the deep sea fishing spots the captain knew, that was when we made our killing. It was rediculous. We seriously were getting bites on the lines within 2 minutes of casting, every time. Sure, we threw some back, but by the end of the trip, I think we had in the neighborhood of 30 keepers. Plus another 10-20 we threw back, and a pair of sharks for good measure. At the end of the trip, they filleted the 30 fish for us, washed, and bagged them (seperated out by type). Ball park, I would guess we took home about 30 pounds of fresh fish. The scrod (scrob?) was recommend we try just raw as sashimi... oh man... totally amazing. Never had fish like this, or that was literally moving a few short hours earlier. I really recommend these guys if you are looking for a great fishing experience.

The line through TSA was super short when I got here for a flight. The agents were all super friendly. No lounges, just a lot of benches. It can go from super empty in here to super packed really quickly. Boarding and landing is outside in the elements. Good thing I came when the weather was dry. There are shuttle buses to downtown via the Nantucket Regional Transit Authority. It was free when I visited. Taxis and rideshare (lyft and uber) also available. Car rental through Hertz and Windmill close-by. Operated seasonally (spring through early fall). Airlines include: American, Jetblue, Delta, Cape Air.
