Make a reservation for the ferry crossing on the Steamshipauthority.com website as early as possible. January 17 is when they start taking reservations for the summer time on Martha's Vineyard. Make your reservations early or stand the chance of being on a waiting list.

Check for last minute availability if you aren't one to plan ahead. Even if you don't decide on a summer visit to Martha's Vineyard until late spring, there's still a good chance you can find a bargain or a nice place to stay. Some people change their minds or decide to rent their summer homes at the last minute.
