Why settle for one great Massachusetts-city when you can experience two? Take the high-speed ferry between Salem and Boston to experience two of the state’s most historic cities. Admire rich landscapes dotted with beautiful homes, fishing boats, and lighthouses as you’re whisked away to Salem or Boston, depending on your departure location. With twin diesel engines that propel you at a top speed of 33 knots, you’ll arrive at your destination in under an hour.
This 149-passenger vessel features a comfortable indoor-lounge and outdoor lower and upper decks, where you can admire picturesque views and feel the refreshing wind on your face.
The on-board galley offers a variety of breakfast and lunch items such as sandwiches, snacks, hot dogs and pretzels, as well as beverages such as coffee, sodas, juice, sports drinks, beer, wine and top-shelf cocktails. Three restrooms are available for your convenience.
Once in Salem, you'll be in walking distance to some of the city's best attractions such as the House of Seven Gables and the Peabody Essex Museum.
In Boston, it's an easy stride from the dock to the New England Aquarium, the Old North Church, Quincy Market and much more.
For Round Trip, you will need to purchase two separate one way tickets - one departing from Boston and one departing from Salem.

It did the job! The pier is pretty, the views and bar offerings were meh. However, I'd still recommend because we met a lovely couple and once you get to Salem you can literally walk straight into the town. It was fast and efficient.

The ferry was very convenient. My only complaint is that on the day of the trip the weather was bad (raining & cold) and instead of being allowed to board the ferry which was docked and scheduled to depart at 4pm, customers had to wait in the rain & cold. It would have been a better experience to be able to board and wait on the ferry until departure. We arrived to the dock 20 minutes to 4pm & had to wait.

The ferry was extremely convenient. It saved us the headache of parking so that we could enjoy Halloween on Salem. The ride was comfortable.

The ferry was the obvious and quickest route to Salem. We received a bonus very brief history lesson by Captain Tom.
