Vineyard Haven Slip Repairs

Repairs to two approach dolphins in slip #1 at Vineyard Haven will begin on Thursday, February 12th. This work is expected to continue until mid-April and only slip #2 (the south slip) will be available for use during the day and for vessel berthing overnight.

As a result, the M/V Island Home (and the M/V Nantucket starting on March 7th) will not be berthing overnight in Vineyard Haven on Fridays and Saturdays. In addition to the published schedule, the M/V Island Home (and the M/V Nantucket starting on March 7th) will operate a 6:00 a.m. trip from Woods Hole on Saturdays and Sundays and a 9:30 p.m. trip from Vineyard Haven on Fridays and Saturdays. These extra trips have been added to the reservation system and will be available to book vehicle reservations in advance.

The availability of only one slip during this period will require the M/V Martha’s Vineyard to move out of slip #2 at 9:00 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and return after the 9:30 p.m. departure of M/V Island Home / M/V Nantucket.

In addition, the reliability of ferry service to Martha’s Vineyard may be impacted under certain high wind conditions, especially when the wind is coming from a northerly direction.

Please be guided accordingly.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while these necessary repairs are being completed.
