Falmouth's own Island Queen carries passengers and bicycles only (no cars) from Falmouth Harbor to Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard. This passenger ferry sails seven times a day in each direction from mid-June through the first week in September. In early June and mid-September it sails twice a day in each direction during (four times a day on weekends). There are no sailings from late September through May. The voyage takes about 35 minutes, and is usually quite smooth and comfortable. A refreshment bar on board serves snacks, sandwiches, soft drinks, beer, and cocktails. You can also buy Martha's Vineyard tour bus tickets on board. There is even a moonlight cruise on some evenings in July and August. For car ferries to the islands, you'll have to go to Woods Hole, 6 miles (10 km) southeast of Falmouth. Island
