Incredible tour, very scenic and beautiful with loads of history. Plus Jonathon (Thatch) is the best tour guide I’ve ever had! He was full of information, a great conversationalist, and was fun and considerate. I wish I could have him guide all the tours I go on!

Boston: Martha’s Vineyard ICONIC Small Group Day Escape w/Ferry
H1367ZSkellyb, Sep 2026
Very pleasant day
This was a great day trip. Willy, our driver from Boston to the ferry took very good care of us. Made sure we had drinks and snacks for the ride and that we knew where we were going to catch the ferry and where he would be when we got back. He also contacted us during our time on Martha's Vineyard to ensure we knew where we were catching our tour bus and what time we needed to catch the ferry back.Our guide on Martha's Vineyard was awesome. Liz was very knowledgeable and had history on the island. She wove that personal knowledge into her narrating and it was very interesting. Before catching the ferry, we had time for lunch and a bit of shopping.Plan on a whole day for this tour. We left at 6am and got back to our hotel around 6pm.

Boston Harbor Sail
Working twin masted schooner with captain and crew. Witness first hand crew raising sails on the foremast, mainmast, foresail, and jib. Continues sail trimming, tacking as we changed directions, and ultimately lowering the sails as we headed back to dock. Crew friendly and knowledgeable answering all questions… very scenic trip around the harbor - bring your camera!

What a fantastic day in Plymouth!!
It was a great day and a great tour. Jonathan was gracious, knowledgeable and genuine. He made me feel like he cared that whether I had a great experience and went above and beyond to make sure I did. The tour was well timed so I never felt hurried. I appreciated Jonathan’s local knowledge and personal stories along the way.

Great way to see Martha's Vineyard without actually staying on Island.
Fun tour, we were lucky (I think?) to have Johnny Boston Fourteen as our guide getting us to the ferry to go to Martha's Vineyard. He kept us entertained and pointed out animal sightings along the way. We saw deer, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and a giraffe! I do wish more restaurants and bars were open though as we went on 9/21 and many stores and restaurants were already closed for end of season.

Our afternoon sail was cancelled due to the weather but these hosts made everything right! They called to let me know my options and I was able to get a sunset cruise the next day. Ship was in great condition and the hosts on the ship were knowledgeable and fun to speak with. Kept the atmosphere right with drinks and blankets on board.

Easy getting tickets online. Easy to get physical tickets one you’re at RowesWharf. Very good signage everywhere. Great communication about boarding and disembarking. The tour itself was very enjoyable, smooth on the water, and all the sights and landmarks were pointed out, with background info.
