Overview

City Cruises offers a high-speed ferry service between Boston and Salem, Massachusetts. The trip takes about 50 minutes each way on a comfortable catamaran equipped with onboard restrooms. Passengers can enjoy views of the Boston skyline during the crossing. Tickets are valid for travel in one direction only; a round-trip requires purchasing two separate one-way tickets, one departing from Boston and one from Salem. Boarding begins 15 minutes before departure, and arriving early is necessary to avoid missing the ferry. Food and drinks are available for purchase onboard but are not included in the ticket price. Infants must have their own ticket. This ferry is not recommended for passengers who are sensitive to motion sickness.
