Travel Tips to Nantucket:

Getting to Nantucket can be a bit of an adventure (fog happens!), so if you’re a nervous traveler, don’t worry — there are plenty of ways to make your way to the island.

Direct flights from New York and Boston will be available starting October 15th, 2026. Those flights are the most reliable and convenient way to get to ACK. We recommend booking early to get the best airfare.

You can catch one of the many ferries to the island in Hyannis an 1.5 hour drive from Boston.

And when in doubt, there’s always another ferry!
