The only ferry service that accommodates vehicles is the Steamship Authority and advance reservations are necessary. Reservations are also recommended for both ferry lines' high speed ferries.

There is year-round direct air service from Hyannis, Boston, Martha's Vineyard, New Bedford, and Providence, RI. Seasonal service is available from LaGuardia, NY, Newark, NJ, Philadelphia, PA, and Washington, DC.
