Comment: The Salem Ferry is a great option to get into the city of Boston. It’s a quick 45-60 during which you get amazing views of the coast as well amazing tidbits of history from the crew. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. Don’t forget to enjoy an adult beverage and a hot dog on the trip. They are very punctual, so don’t be late!

Comment: This is an absolute MUST! We took the ferry from Boston to Salem and back again on our way out. It was one of our favorite parts of our witch trip to Salem! The views were spectacular and we even got some history! They have snacks and drinks and a great staff. We truly enjoyed this amazing experience!

About this one:
We took the ferry the other day to go from Salem to Boston and back!
It is a fun, efficient way to move between the two cities. In Salem, you can park in the parking lot by the harbor if you’re coming by car.
The ferry (the Nathaniel Bowditch boat) has two floors, bathrooms and a bar and is medium size. Very clean and well maintained. When you are leaving/entering the harbours, the crew will give a short but informative presentation about the history of the two towns, 100% understandable both from the microphone and the speakers.
PROs
Fast – about 55 minutes – efficient and scenic, especially when entering Boston. The boarding process too was very quick and easy – they leave exactly on time! Don’t be late!
CONs
A bit on the expensive side. We didn’t know there was a discount for residents and we paid the full price, which is not cheap.
Be aware, this can be a bumpy ride. I’m sure it is not necessarily all the time – I’m sure many have done this ferry on smooth, tranquil waters. It was not the case for us today, thought! It was choppy and bumpy, a bit more than what I expected from a ferry. And the boat goes fast…!
If you suffer from motion sickness, I definitely recommend NOT to seat on the second floor but to stay on the first floor. And bring some layers, because the second floor is open and the first floor is covered and kind of closed, but it might get cold there anyway.

Comment: Such a fun way to get to Boston. The view is amazing and I loved standing in the front of the boat listening to music and feeling the wind in my hair.
