Getting to Oak Bluffs
Martha's Vineyard is an Island, and the only ways to reach us is by Ferry, Private Boat, or Airplane. The Port of Oak Bluffs is serviced by five ferries lines arriving from Ports of Woods Hole, New Bedford, Hyannis, and Falmouth in Massachusetts, and from Quonset Point in Rhode Island, making it easy to reach our Victorian resort. Also, Oak Bluffs has excellent port facilities to accommodate your private craft. Cruise ships make frequent stops as well during the summer. The Martha's Vineyard Airport provides commercial airline service and facilities for private aircraft. You may reach the island by a short plane ride from Boston, Hyannis, New Bedford, or Providence, RI. During the summer, additional flights are available from Newark, NJ, Laguardia, NY, and Philadelphia, PA.
If you plan to bring your auto to the Island, the Steamship Authority Ferry out of the port of Woods Hole (just outside Falmouth, MA) is the only service to carry autos. You will need a reservation for your vehicle, and we suggest you contact the Steamship Authority well in advance of your stay to make your reservation and avoid disappointment.
Nevertheless, when you come to Oak Bluffs without your vehicle you will enjoy your stay, be able to walk to everything, and explore the island with our excellent bus service,
