Weekend MBTA Commuter Boat Trips Return

Boston - MassDOT Secretary & CEO Stephanie Pollack announced that weekend commuter boat service will be provided for a second year between Hingham, Hull, Georges Island, Grape Island and Boston. The weekend service begins Memorial Day weekend and will continue through the Labor Day weekend.

"Commuter boat service on the weekends proved to be an affordable and enjoyable option for customers during its first year, and we are pleased to deliver this service again in 2015," said MassDOT Secretary & CEO Stephanie Pollack. "We are happy to provide an alternative mode of transportation that will allow people to visit the harbor islands or travel to Boston without the need to drive and park."

Each Saturday and Sunday, there will be fourteen roundtrips between Hingham and Boston's Long Wharf, with a number of boats making stops at Hull, Georges Island, Grape Island and Logan Airport. The boats depart hourly from Hingham and Boston, beginning at 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., respectively. On Saturdays, there will be two additional round trips at night with the last boat departing Boston at 11:15 p.m., and arriving in Hingham at midnight. A one-way fare between Hingham or Hull and Long Wharf is $8.50. The fare for Logan service is $17, but only $8.50 for those with a valid monthly Commuter Boat pass.
