You love the idea of visiting Provincetown, with its colorful galleries, unique shops and fabulous restaurants. But you don’t love the idea of battling traffic getting there. At Captain John Boats, they have the perfect solution: the fast ferry to Provincetown. Have breakfast in picturesque Plymouth, then board the ferry and, 90 minutes later, you’re getting off the boat at Provincetown’s MacMillan Pier. Enjoy comfy seating in the cabin with full galley service and great views of historic Plymouth Harbor and beautiful Cape Cod Bay, or revel in that ocean air from the deck. You’ll have five hours to spend in Provincetown – time for a dune tour, bike ride, visit to the Pilgrim Monument, gallery-hopping, fun shopping and dining right by the water.
