From early rowboat ferries to today’s motorized barges, the crossing between Edgartown and Chappaquiddick has always been the lifeline connecting two worlds just 527 feet apart.While our vessels and technology have evolved—from hand-paddled skiffs in the early days to our modern barges—the core mission of the ferry has never changed: providing safe, year-round passage for island residents, emergency personnel, and visitors alike. As we launch our new website, we invite you to explore our history, check current schedule updates, and keep an eye on our live harbor webcams before your next trip across!
