TERMINAL

TIME
The ferry leaves for Oak Bluffs at 8:45am. Please try to be there 30 minutes before so we can get the group organized. We arrive tentatively 9:35am
PARKING
Seastreak will be offering all you valet parking for the day. Just drive right up to the terminal and you will be directed to the parking lot which is just yards from the boat. It is such an easy convenience!!!

We will have lite breakfast treats and mimosas for the boat to enjoy for our 50 minute trip. Seastreak offers coffee, snacks and other cocktails at their concession counter. We will be enjoying a catered lunch reception at the Harborside Inn located on North Water Street in Edgartown. We also have some local businesses who will be offering our group some snacks and drinks throughout the day.
WHAT TO WEAR
It is going to be an absolute picture perfect day on the island. Come in Casual and Comfy clothing! We always suggest pants - the ferry gets windy (and we’ve learned the hard way that skirts are not a great idea lol). We will also be taking the Chappy Ferry in town at some point (it’s a super quick ride). We’ll be walking around most of the day so comfy shoes, light sweater in case it gets chilly on the boat or late afternoon.
WHAT TO BRING
This excursion presents an excellent chance to capture stunning brand photos for your products, craft engaging content for your blog or social media platforms, and connect with outstanding island businesses. We highly encourage you to seize this opportunity by bringing along various items, props, brands, and collaborations to enhance your day. Rest assured, you'll have the convenience of leaving belongings on the bus, sparing you from the hassle of carrying or lugging them around throughout the day.
GROUND TRANSPORTATION
Island Transportation provided by our own private Martha’s Vineyard SightseeingTours for the day
ITINERARY
We will have detailed itineraries and guided tours available as we get closer to our trip; with a list of things we’d love for you tag and share, as well as the participating businesses and shops that are excited to meet you!
RETURN
The boat back to America leaves at 5:30pm out of Oak Bluffs (we will be back in town around 3:30pm) - with docking back in New Bedford at 6:20pm. Valet pick up instructions will be texted to you while the boat is underway so you can just have your car waiting for you when you come back!
