We had a GREAT time sailing on Ishmael when we were on the Vineyard. The boat is an old, true…read morewooden schooner built in 1929, so it's beautiful and has a lot of character. Captain Fred was so much fun (kind of a character himself!) and he's really knowledgable and indulged all my questions, telling me about how the boat works and teaching us a lot. We sailed from Vineyard Haven around Oak Bluffs and then moored near State Beach so we could all jump off the boat and go swimming. We had lunch on the boat and then sailed back. I highly recommend Ishmael for anyone who wants a unique, and genuine experience. Since the boat is privately owned, there is nothing commercial about it and you get a real sense of sailing the way the locals do it. And if there's good wind, there is nothing like skimming through the waves, feeling the spray of the ocean, as you take in the beautiful view.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Woods Hole Island Tours! Booking online was…read moreincredibly easy, and the communication leading up to our tour was excellent. Captain Donny was fantastic. This trip was all about giving our two-year-old daughter the best possible boat adventure (with the bonus of celebrating an early Father's Day for my husband!), and Captain Donny made sure it was everything we hoped for. He was so kind, welcoming, and wonderful with all of us, especially our toddler. We chose the one-hour tour, and it was perfect. We explored the beautiful Elizabeth Islands, and seeing Naushon Island from the water was spectacular. I've spent the last 44 summers on Cape Cod, and somehow I'd never experienced these incredible views. It felt like discovering a whole new side of the Cape. We also loved hearing about Captain Donny's family's connection to Landfall, one of our favorite Cape Cod restaurants! We had such a great time that we're already talking about when we can book another tour. We've been telling all of our neighbors they need to go, too! If you're considering a trip with Woods Hole Island Tours, don't hesitate. It was one of the highlights of our summer.

Location at Martha's Vineyard Island Oak Bluff, and unlike the other offices at Nantucket and…read moreHyannis, this office is just a one room booth (though it can fit a lot of young people at a time). I kept missing it, as it was a crowded Friday afternoon, but then later realized that it is exactly where it needs to be: fronting the entrance to the dock where the ferry leaves. We were able to change our departure (to go back to Hyannis) from 8:40 pm to an earlier 6:10 pm on Friday, and there was no charge since we did it before the original time elapsed...we just needed to show them our original invoice. Unlike the other Hy-line offices, there is no indoor seating, but plenty to pass the time since right in the middle of a busy tourist area. By taking the earlier return, it was a different crowd...more older and a lot less crowded. We got back to Hyannis in under an hour, and offloaded pretty easily. There were shuttles waiting in the nearby road (to avoid the heavy congestion in the pickup area), and we got the last two seats. We got dropped off at Lot 8 offsite in 10 minutes, and were on our way. Probably wouldn't recommend trying to see both islands on the same day, but it can be done via Hy-Line.

If you are the kind of person that says it's not about the destination it's about the journey, take…read morethe time to go on the old ferry not the high speed. The staff is super relaxed and we felt very welcome the minute we stepped on board. They made us feel like we were locals. They have a fully stocked bar, several comfortable areas to sit, great views and a very smooth ride. Only reason for lack of 5 stars is the boat is a bit old. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Just not quite a five star experience.
