TOP FIVE REASONS TO USE ADVENTURE NORTHEAST TRANSPORTATION INSTEAD OF THE TRAIN:

Our transportation times are set to the ferry arrival and departure times, the train times are not even close.

We pick up and drop off at the ferries direct; the train requires another form of transportation to get you to the MV ferries.

If the ferry is late getting in we will wait for you, the train will be long gone and you will have to wait hours for the next train (if they even have seats).

If the train gets delayed, which it does, you may miss your ferry. If we hit traffic, we have GPS to get you to your destination quickly by an alternate route.

We are the least expensive and fastest way to get to and from the ferries and Newport.

Pick Up and Drop Off Locations:

NYC Eastside location is the McDonalds on 2^nd avenue between 96 and 97street. Buses only go to the Eastside.

NYC Westside location is Dublin Bar (225w79) on the north side of 79^th street near Broadway. Vans only go to the Westside.

The Martha’s Vineyard ferry is located in New Bedford, MA.

The Block Island High speed ferry is in New London, Connecticut.

The Newport, Rhode Island location is the back entrance of the Newport visitor’s bureau next to the Marriott.

Vehicles only stop at above locations when we have reservations, so travel times may be shorter.

Regarding trips southbound to NYC, when the driver is notified of traffic gridlocks, terrorist warnings, congestion due to special events or storm flooding, or if there are 3 passengers or less we may drop off at the New Canaan, CT train station. In this situation the final driving time of travel could take over two hours instead of the typical one-hour. We will pay for your fare to NYC and the travel time will be one hour. The trains depart every hour.

Ferry Cancellations:

Be aware that there may be cancellations by the ferries due to hurricanes, severe thunderstorms, fog or mechanical problems beyond their control.

If you have a reservation from the Block Island or Martha’s Vineyard Ferries to New York City and the ferry is cancelled call us to reserve for the next available scheduled departure.
