Water transportation is the preferred commuting choice of many - great for traveling to work from the North and South Shore communities, easy trips to Logan or getting quickly around Boston's Inner Harbor and Boston Harbor Islands.
Why take water transportation? Traveling by boat, whether for work or fun, is in many ways, an easy alternative to driving.
Low fares: Low price service can be even more affordable for commuters through monthly passes.
Convenience: Ferries traveling to Boston dock at convenient locations minutes away from Downtown, Faneuil Hall Marketplace/Quincy Market, the North End, Government Center, the Financial District, the Seaport District, and the Charlestown Navy Yard. Access to Salem, Quincy, Hingham and Hull is available on a regular schedule.
Speed: The majority of services are provided by high-speed vessels, many of which have snacks and drinks available on board.
Fun! During the summer months, both tourists and local residents can enjoy a boat ride to the Boston Harbor Islands or Provincetown, at the northern tip of Cape Cod.
Happy Boating!
The Boston Harbor Association is working to continue the success of water transportation as a transit option.
