Events Getting here
Getting here
Every group travels by private boat, scheduled around your event. About 30 minutes from downtown, $24 per person round trip.
How it works
Three easy steps
Your sales manager sets departure and return times around your event.
From EDIC Pier or Long Wharf, depending on group size. Arrive 15 minutes before departure.
An events representative welcomes you at the dock in Boston, and your on-site coordinator greets you on the island. The boat back leaves when your event ends.
Which boat is ours?
It depends on your guest count
About 30 minutes each way. Boat costs count toward the wedding minimum and are built into our corporate sample packages and retreat packages. Boat charges carry a 10% transportation fee.
The two docks
Where to go
Island ferry for up to 125 guests · charters for a $500 round-trip docking fee
Private charter · more than 125 guests
If plans change
We can often fit them on another run. If not, an extra run costs $500 on the island ferry or $2,300 on a charter.
Call your coordinator. We'll find a later trip or book a water taxi: $450 for up to 13 people, plus $10 for each additional person.
Events run rain or shine. If we cancel for extreme weather, you can reschedule within the year or get a full refund.
The island ferry from EDIC Pier is wheelchair accessible; the Long Wharf charters are not. On the island there are paved and hard-packed paths, accessible restrooms in select buildings and golf-cart rides. Tell us about guests' needs ahead of time.

Quick answers
No. The island is private, so we schedule the boat around your event.
