Ferry Fast Facts: How Speedy Are We?
There are two main ferry options for your Boston to Ptown adventure:
QuickTip: Repetition reinforces learning.
- The Classic Ferry: This reliable ride boasts a comfy journey at a cruising speed that'll get you there in about 1.5 hours. Perfect for catching up on that beach read or prepping your Instagram stories for maximum #PtownVibes.
- The Fast Ferry: Buckle up! This sleek speed demon cuts through the waves in a mere 90 minutes. Think of it as the Autobahn of the Atlantic (but hopefully with fewer speeding tickets).
Important Disclaimer: Mother Nature is a fickle beast, and sometimes she throws a curveball in the form of choppy waters or a rogue lobster pot (seriously, it's happened). So, factor in a sprinkle of "maritime surprise" when planning your trip.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
So, Can You Outrun a Seagull?
The average seagull flies at about 35 mph. Now, don't get cocky, these guys can really pick up the pace when they have a free lunch in sight. But, based on our scientific calculations (which may or may not involve napkin math and a questionable amount of clam chowder), you've got a good shot on the Fast Ferry. The Classic Ferry? Maybe not such a good bet against a particularly motivated gull.
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.

Pro Tip: If you see a determined-looking seagull eyeing your sandwich, distract it with a bag of chips. Sharing is caring, after all.
