About this guide

DayTripMarthas.com is an independent visitor guide to spending a day on Martha's Vineyard. We compare the bookable day trips from Boston and the tours on the island, alongside the ferries and buses, so you can pick the right day first time.

We are not a tour operator, a ferry line or Viator. In particular, we are not New England Trips or its tour sold as "Day Trip to Martha's Vineyard": the site name describes the trip we write about, not a business. We are also not connected with the Steamship Authority, the Island Queen, the VTA or any town on the island.

Facts on this site are checked against the ferry operators' and island organisations' published details, the live Viator listings (including recent guest reviews) and current visitor guidance. Prices and timetables move; when a listing and this page disagree, the checkout price wins.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a Viator link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes what we recommend, including pointing out lower-rated tours, the cheaper do-it-yourself ferry, and what a ticket does not include. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
