Ferry Crossings

One of the easiest ways to get to and from Provincetown is to take a ferry from Boston harbor. This was our approach for starting our Provincetown vacation and for finishing it as well.

We flew into Boston International Airport from Paris, arriving in the evening. Stayed overnight at the Marriott LongWharf and caught the early morning Boston Harbor Cruise ferry to Provincetown. The ferry takes about 90 minutes and doesn't take any cars - only people and bikes! We walked right out of the hotel and on to the wharf to catch the ferry. It couldn't have been simpler.

During our trip to Provincetown we were cloaked in clouds and it was only as we approached the cape that some of this started to burn off.

For our departure trip from Provincetown, we were bemused by the perfectly sunny Sunday afternoon. The day had been the end of the Pan Massachusetts Bike ride, so we were inundated with passengers with bikes on this trip. We took the 4:00pm ferry back to Boston. This would give us plenty of time to find the hotel and begin our discovery of Boston during some hours of daylight.
