Please
do not use online reservations within 24 hours of travel time.
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.
We meet the most popular
ferry times for Martha’s Vineyard and Block Island. Newport is on the same
schedule.
There is limited space.
Please call 917-861-1800 in advance or fill out the Online Reservations
form.

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.
