Traveling to Nantucket via Ferry for Soccer
There are two fast ferry services to get to Nantucket - the Hy-Line & Steamship Authority (about a 1-hour ride). This is the only way to get to/from Nantucket for games unless you take the slow boat - which will take much more time. We encourage all teams/attendees to travel via fast ferry. Our games are scheduled around the boat schedules. The Steamship Authority & Hy-line provide affordable rates - which is only available to players, coaches, and Team Managers. Please book reservations well in advance - especially on weekends!
In order to obtain the team rate, please contact the group sales coordinators at either office (Hy-line or Steamship Authority). Round-trip/same-day/same boat is the only way for the discount to work! This is per team, not per league. We encourage parents to make their reservations ONCE the team reservation has been made. Coaches or Team Managers will update the team with the boat/time they have selected.
The Nantucket Soccer Club will provide transportation to and from the boat/fields for players and coaches. Please note that our regional transit authority also provides free year-round busing around the island. The schedule and stops can be found at Nantucket Regional Transit Authority
Once you have made your ferry reservations please reach out to the coach and provide the following information:
Departure time and ferry from Hyannis
Departure time and ferry from Nantucket
Number of players and coaches
If there are any questions, please e-mail [email protected] or reach out to the coach or team manager directly.
