| How To Get To Ferry From Boston Airport |
First Mate Fundamentals: Public Transportation Options
Avast! Boston offers several public transportation options to ferry you (get it?) from the airport to the dock. Here are your top choices:
The MBTA Ferry: That's right, Boston has a public ferry system, and it stops right at Logan Airport! This is the most scenic and relaxing option, offering stunning views of the harbor. Just be sure to check the schedule beforehand – you wouldn't want to miss your boat (literally).
The On-Airport Shuttle: Feeling more like a landlubber than a sailor? No worries! The airport offers a free shuttle bus, aptly named Route 66 (because everything's better on Route 66, am I right?). This trusty steed will take you directly to the ferry terminal.
Pro Tip: Download the MBTA app to check ferry schedules and track the shuttle in real-time. You won't be left hanging (well, maybe on the dock briefly, but that's part of the adventure!)
Avoiding the Kraken: How to Steer Clear of Traffic Jams
Let's face it, Boston traffic can be a beast. But fear not, intrepid traveler! Taking the ferry is a great way to avoid the stress and rage of rush hour. You can sit back, relax, and enjoy the view while someone else does the navigating (phew!).
QuickTip: Read again with fresh eyes.
Bonus points for looking super smug while you sail past gridlocked cars. Just try not to yell "Ahoy, suckers!" – etiquette and all that.
High Seas Hospitality: What to Expect on the Ferry
The Boston ferries are clean, comfortable, and offer a chance to stretch your sea legs (or just regular legs, if you haven't been stuck in an airplane seat for hours). There's usually a snack bar on board, so you can grab a coffee or a pastry to fuel your next adventure.
Top tip: If the weather's nice, snag a spot on the outer deck for some spectacular Boston Harbor views. Just be careful not to get seasick – unless you're channeling your inner pirate and want to impress your shipmates with a dramatic display (not recommended).
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
