Q&A

Q: What's the best time of year to take the ferry? I want to gift this to my parents.

A: The best time to take the ferry is definitely late spring to early fall. The weather is usually perfect, plus you avoid winter chill. Just keep in mind that summer weekends can get crowded, so I’d recommend booking in advance. Fall brings great views with the foliage too!

Q: Can I bring my 3-year-old on the ferry? Is there a ticket for kids?

A: Yes, you can bring kids of all ages on the ferry! Kids under 3 typically ride for free, so your little one won't need a ticket. Just be aware that the ride can be bumpy at times, so keep an eye on them. There’s also a restroom on board if needed.

Q: What happens if the weather's bad on the day of our trip? Do we get rescheduled?

A: If the weather’s bad, they usually offer rescheduling options or a full refund. It’s best to check their policy on the website right before booking just to be safe. Also, keep an eye on the forecast as your trip gets closer!

Anyone else loved the high-speed ferry from Boston to Salem?

I just took the City Cruises high-speed ferry from Boston to Salem last weekend and it was such a blast! The views of the skyline were stunning, and the ride was smooth and quick. Perfect way to avoid all that summer traffic! I’d totally recommend it as a gift for anyone visiting or just looking for a fun day trip.

Thinking about gifting the ferry ride for my sister's birthday!

I’m considering the ferry ride from Boston to Salem for my sister’s birthday next month. She loves historical places and the whole vibe of Salem. Is it a good spot to grab lunch once we get there? And how's the parking situation like in Boston?
