Salem Ferry, Massachusetts, United States

4.5 (410 reviews) Wednesday: 7:00 AM - 4:30 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Salem Ferries

The only way to relax and get to Salem.

We, more often than not, go on a Cruise or Ferry on every vacation stay possible So taking the Nathaniel Bowditich to and from Salem was the an easy option. The ship was spotless, disinfected and fun. Maps of Salem were handed out buy a charismatic gentleman who took time to answer our question. We enjoyed the Halloween decorations and the commentary from the Captain. Lastly, on our way back to Boston we really enjoyed (an expensive) but very cold beer, it was just the thing to enjoy. Kudos to the Ferry Company.

    A Memorable Experience
    This sixty-minute ferry ride from Salem to Boston created one of my favorite New England memories. It helps that the day was warm and sunny, and the boat was full but not overcrowded. We sat on the top deck for the best views of harbors and passing sights and took some excellent photos of Salem and Boston's harbors. The round-trip ride was inexpensive and worth every penny. Boston drivers can be pretty aggressive, so this could be an alternative travel option for someone who wants to visit Boston and Salem.

    Great service and staff
    I was very impressed with the service on the Salem Ferry. My plan was to take the Salem Ferry round trip from Boston. The water was very rough that day. I was on the first ferry of the morning. Before getting on the ferry, the crew warned us that it would be very rough and we could return our tickets if we decide not to board. Several of us decided to board anyway and take our chances. They were very clear about the rough waters and told us that they would decide on that trip if they would be canceling service for the rest day based upon this trip. It was rough. We all sat indoors hanging onto the tables. It was definitely bumpy! The crew was wonderful and made us as comfortable as possible. One of the crew members spoke individually to each group and helped us with any directions and maps that we might need upon disembarking in Salem. They decided to cancel the rest of the day. When we landed, they quickly refunded my return fare and explained how easily I could take a train back to Boston. I was very pleased with the way they handled the situation. They crew and ticket people were great. I would definitely use the Salem Ferry Service again.
