Salem Ferry
Salem, USA


The Salem Ferry is a passenger service offering scenic views of Salem Sound as it connects Salem to Boston, traversing approximately 45 minutes across the water. Operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, it provides an enjoyable transit option for commuters and visitors, with the ferry’s vessel sporting a sleek and modern design.
The experience is particularly striking on clear days when the coastline is visible, and in summer, the ferry attracts both tourists and locals alike. Arriving at the Boston waterfront places you near attractions like the New England Aquarium and Faneuil Hall, adding to the day's exploration. Keep an eye on the weather, as rough seas can lead to rescheduling.
