Chappy Ferry

What? Reviews for the Chappy Ferry? I’m in.
Shortest ferry ride you’ll ever take, with a 3 car maximum and a few fellow walk on or drive on passengers sharing the view. This ferry goes back and forth between Edgartown and Chappy, with heavy traffic build up on both sides in the summer. Be patient. Bring a book. Borrow a cooler and pack it with some sandwiches and drinks. There are not too many places to shop or dine on Chappy, and the residents love that. (Cell phone reception and Internet connections are pretty much nonexistent so you’ll be off the grid here for your visit.)
Chappy is beautiful and well worth the trip if you are a summer visitor, but it helps to have a bike or a car. This ferry is reliable and will save you the trouble of swimming across the short channel, as long as you get there before their final run. You’ll feel like Cinderella heeding her warning from her fairy godmother about getting out of the ball before the clock strikes 12. If you miss the last boat, too bad.

When I hadn’t been to Chappy before, my bf told me «We take a ferry from MV to Chappy».here’s me thinking of my many ferries around the Greek Islands! The Steamship Authority is quick, efficient, and fun to see who got the summer job on the ferry. The longest part of this ferry is waiting in line on a nice day (from both sides), and unloading/​loading. Buy tickets and save them if you’ll be coming back again!
Don’t forget that if you miss the last ferry over to Chappy at night you can usually get the Harbor Master to give you a lift over (thank goodness for that after the Shanty or Wharf on many nights!) :)
