We are extraordinarily grateful to have found a way to make it to our 51st year of providing service to the great community of Provincetown.Thank you for helping make it possible to get to this milestone. We've assembled this special section of our website to help commemorate our 50th year, last year. Sailing between Boston and Provincetown is a great American tradition. In sailing with us, you are participating in a storied New England summer activity even older than that of baseball. We look forward to the chance of including you in the great pastime.

The two met and danced together the entire trip-long. These vessels were, in large part, floating dance halls. Reservations are not required but we strongly recommend them, particularly during the peak tourist season. You might also want to consider purchasing tickets for both the outward and the return leg of your journey right from the outset. That, of course, is assuming you know exactly when you'll be returning, which isn't always the case.

Roundtrip returns may be on a later day, but must be this season. Our Provincetown Fast Ferry fleet has the most daily departures, are the most modern vessels, and our Boston dock is easy to get to in the Seaport District. Once purchased, TenPasses have no expiration date, and may be used with any ferry reservation involving two or fewer passengers. Each of a TenPass's ten trips covers one ferry ride for one passenger.
So, for example, two passengers using a new TenPass with a round-trip reservation would have four trips deducted from the pass's initial ten trips, leaving six trips to use later. If you're a frequent Fast Ferry traveler, then a Bay State Cruise Company TenPass can save you a lot of money. It allows you to buy ten trips ahead of time, at a significant discount from regular adult fares. The service is seasonal starting up in mid-May Thursday-Sunday only, expanding to a full daily schedule around the first week of June, and continuing through the peak season until the middle of October.
With an eye toward economy of construction, ships began being built with less and less compound curvature. The companies pictured above were also the last to call on Provincetown prior to bludgeoning one another into insolvency and ending ferry service from Boston altogether in 1965. This lapse in service remained in effect until Bay State Cruise Company started its service in 1973. Tickets that are purchased in advance and then unused will not be refunded, just exchanged for other tickets, subject to availability. And while you can certainly book tickets online or by telephone, you can only exchange those tickets if you show up in person at either the Boston Harbor Cruise ticket office or The Whale Watch Store in Provincetown. Silver Line – Take the subway to South Station and transfer to the Silver Line (the Silver Line also travels through the Back Bay).
PARTY CRUISES
This photo is taken from the breezeway just aft of the staterooms on our first ferry, M/V PROVINCETOWN. It's a marvelous depiction of Ptown in the 70s, not just for the hairstyles of our passengers, but, for the fishing activity and shoreline of Provincetown. The inbound fishing vessel is none other than the F/V Michael Anne, one of the last Eastern Rig Draggers to call on Provincetown. Long Point Lighthouse is seen with the no longer existent overhead power lines. The sailboat on the shoreline is the venerable AMF Sunfish, the everyman boat of the 70s before Lasers and kayaks became all the rage.
Directions to Provincetown Terminal:
Parking lots and garages are not owned or run by Bay State Cruises and we have no control over the rates and policies of the owners or managers of the lots and garages. We offer this price information in hopes of aiding passengers with their travel plans but have no influence over the parking businesses’ rates, policies, or the frequency with which either may change. Silver Line – An MBTA articulated bus makes the rounds of all airport terminals every 15 minutes for an eight-minute trip through a dedicated tunnel to the World Trade Center stop, one block inland from our dock. Total time from your airport terminal curb to our dock, once aboard the bus, is approximately 14 minutes. Upon docking in Ptown in 1973, the PROVINCETOWN ties up and prepares to disembark its passengers.
The Bay State Cruise Company offers two Boston-Provincetown ferry options. It has comfortable seating and an enclosed, air-conditioned lower deck, and can get you to P-Town in about 90 minutes. The more traditional style ferry is the Provincetown II. However, the traditional ferry only sails on Saturdays between Late June and Labor Day weekend.
All ferries begin the day in Boston so these are not a good option for travelling to Boston from P-Town if you need to be in the city early. If you're already in staying in P-Town and want to get into Boston, the earliest you'll be able to get there is lunchtime (although the return ticket could certainly be used the next day). Tickets for cruises must be picked up on the evening of the cruise from our ticket office.
Simply ask the taxi driver who picks you up at your terminal to take you to World Trade Center, lower level, on Seaport Blvd. Our ships depart from the EAST side (the right side as you face the harbor) of the pier. The fourth ferry that we dedicated to the storied Boston to Provincetown run is the still current fast ferry PROVINCETOWN III. We launched this wonderfully quick and comfortable boat in 2004. We are so proud to be continuing this 170 year tradition of ferrying passengers between Boston and Provincetown and are honored to be the longest operating ferry company of all those that have come before us.
