NEW DATE: 2024 Martha’s Vineyard General Public Internet Opening
For Martha’s Vineyard Travel ONLY
The 2024 general public opened on Wednesday, February 14, 2024 at 8 a.m. Sign on early.

At that time, vehicle reservations for travel from May 15, 2024, through October 20, 2024 will be accepted.
The Steamship Authority will continue to closely monitor and actively manage the number of users allowed on the website during the opening to ensure the system is operating at an optimal level. This will be done through the use of a virtual waiting room that allows customers to see their “place” in line and the approximate wait time until they can make a transaction, eliminating the need for customers to continually refresh their browser.
Although summer automobile reservations will not be able to be made by phone during the online opening periods, the Reservation Office will be available from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily should a customer need assistance with their login password or PIN.
