On Tuesday, May 27th we headed for Nantucket on one of the Steamship Authority’s High Speed Ferries from Hyannis Harbor.


We parked in one of their off-site parking lots and were quickly shuttled to the terminal. There is limited handicapped parking available at the terminal, but we suggest checking it out in advance. If this doesn’t work out, passengers can be dropped off at the terminal and the driver can go and park.


We found automatic sliding glass doors at street level, a handicapped accessible low ticket window, handicapped accessible, multi-stall restrooms and plenty of benches.


Access to the ship was fairly easy via ramps dedicated to people needing assistance.  Many pleasant workers were available to help everyone.


The inside of the ship is spacious with airplane style seating, as well as seats with tables.  There is dedicated space where wheelchairs can be secured.


If you can do steps, you might like the view from the upper level.


Single-occupancy, handicapped accessible restrooms are located on the main deck.


Food and drinks are available on board.


The ride was nice and smooth.


Disembarking in Nantucket was easy. If needed, help is available here as well.


The terminal in Nantucket is somewhat more rustic, with a boardwalk area outside.
