πŸ“ Heads up -- Google Maps is placing our Woods Hole Terminal, 1 Cowdry Road in Woods Hole, across the drawbridge at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution dock. 😡
πŸ’™ While we love our neighbors, we want everyone to get where they're going, so please check twice before listening to your phone. 🚧 We're working on correcting this issue ASAP.

πŸ’Ž Travel Tip Tuesday:
πŸ“ Where: Vineyard Haven Terminal
βš“ What: Due to slip construction, our ferries often have to wait for other vessels to clear Vineyard Haven Harbor before they can approach or depart the terminal. Delays can occur that affect our ability to get to Woods Hole in time for scheduled departures for the Peter Pan and Plymouth & Brockton bus lines.
πŸ“ Note: We cannot guarantee any connections, so if you're planning to catch a bus or catch a ride to continue your travels, take an earlier trip to ensure you make your connection without issue.
πŸ“† Project timeline: Scheduled to run through mid-May.

Update: the M/V Iyanough remains out of service Wednesday, 5/6, while repairs are under way. The M/V Iyanough will not r...

Update: the M/V Iyanough remains out of service Wednesday, 5/6, while repairs are under way.

The M/V Iyanough will not run today and tomorrow (May 4-5, 2026) while the vessel undergoes unexpected repairs at Fairhaven Shipyard. We will update the vessel's status when more information is available.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

βš“ Heads up: today is Drone Safety Day. We love seeing your aerial shots of our ferries, but please fly responsibly and follow all safety protocols.

πŸ‘€ The most important: if we see a drone flying over a vessel or a terminal and there's no record of an approved filming request, it will be considered suspicious activity.
