Key Takeaways:

Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, is one of those destinations that makes a great case for general aviation. Because it is an island, getting there by car involves a ferry ride that can be complicated, competitive, and time-consuming to arrange.

People who have summered on the Vineyard for generations often share tales of woe related to the ferry. Under the best conditions, the trip consumes much of the day.
