Cape Cod Maritime Days -- Ferry to Nantucket

Yesterday, had an amazing day on Nantucket. The Steamship Authority put together an outing to see Nantucket. We left the inn at 9:30 (so you can see Nantucket and still have breakfast), and we set sail at 11:00 AM -- you could probably leave a little later and still have plenty of time to get there, but we all had to meet at 10:30. The ride over took an hour, and it was delightful. We had lunch on the boat as that was part of their tour for us. We immediately got on buses and had a drive around the island. It was a beautiful day and we had a very nice tour driver. Then it was on to the Whaling Museum. It is a great museum and gives a great historical account of the industry. Kevin says he couldn't have made it through the first day on the ship with the stench alone. After the tour we had some time to see the shops, experience the cobblestone streets, and enjoy the beauty of the area. We embarked on the Iyannough at 3:15 and were back at the Inn by 5:15 -- even saw the Kennedy Compound from the water.

So if you are planning to come to Cape Cod and stay at the Inn, maybe you would like to add a day, so you can take a trip to Nantucket. If you book with us, we can save you 20% on a round trip tickets.
