Ferry trip to cape cod
My boarding pass said 3 adults but when they scanned it only came up as one so the 2 friends were not allowed to board The ferry we were to go on refused to help as we went through Viator third party to make the booking By the time I sorted it out with Viator the ferry had departed This is the first time I ever had an issue booking through Viator my recommendation is make sure you have a boarding pass for each person in your party

Pleasant Round Trip Ferry to Provincetown
City Cruises does a good job...the ferry is clean and comfortable and takes just 90 minutes from Boston's Long Wharf to Provincetown. There are restrooms and snacks available onboard and the staff is friendly and efficient. I hosted a group on the same weekend as the Boston Tall Ships Parade, and I found the staff very accommodating...it was a busy time for anyone in the business, and employees of City Cruises really came through. Outstanding service. We'll be back. Enjoy!

There was NO ferry at the specified llocation going to Provincetown from Boston on Monday, 7/13/2026 at 11:30 AM.
This company should have known there was no ferry that ran from Boston to Provincetown on Monday, July 13, 2026 at 11:30 AM. We need a full refund (actually more since we stood in the sun for 45 minutes only to find out we needed to Uber to a second destination at Seaport for a ferry that did run at 1 PM Boston to Provincetown.). A full refund, please!

Wrong departure time on tickets
Our experience (booking through Viator) for a day trip from Boston to Provincetown was an extremely disappointing one. On Tuesday, June 9, we arrived for what was supposed to be a confirmed 11:30am ferry departure, only to discover that no such departure time even existed. Despite having a valid confirmation on our tickets and email notifications, we were informed by an agent at the check-in counter that the information provided to us was incorrect. He said the ferry had already left at 9am that day. What was most frustrating was not only the error itself, but the complete lack of accountability shown in handling the situation. We received no apology, no acknowledgment of the inconvenience caused, and no meaningful effort to address the disruption to our travel plans. As a direct result of this mistake, we incurred additional expenses by extending our hotel stay specifically for this ferry trip. We also lost valuable vacation time dealing with the confusion and uncertainty created by the incorrect booking information. It was the day of our wedding anniversary and obviously our intended day of celebrations and happy memories were ruined. We called Viator customer service but the service that was rendered to us were unsatisfactory. While we eventually received refunds for the ferry tickets and the unused Provincetown tour, the financial reimbursement does not excuse the poor customer service and unprofessional manner in which the situation was handled. A mistake of this magnitude should never occur, especially when customers rely on confirmed booking information to plan their travel. The lack of communication, responsibility, and customer care was unacceptable. I sincerely hope no other travelers have to experience the same level of frustration and disappointment.

Confirmed Ferry Booking That Never Existed — NoAccountability, No Apology, No Compensation
Booking through you for a day trip from Boston to Provincetown was an extremely disappointing experience. On Tuesday, June 9, we arrived for what was supposed to be a confirmed 11:30 AM ferry departure, only to discover that no such departure time even existed. Despite having a valid confirmation, we were informed that the information provided to us was incorrect. What was most frustrating was not only the error itself, but the complete lack of accountability shown in handling the situation. We received no apology, no acknowledgment of the inconvenience caused, and no meaningful effort to address the disruption to our travel plans.

A mistake of this magnitude should never occur, especially when customers rely on confirmed booking information to plan their travel. The lack of communication, responsibility, and customer care was unacceptable. I sincerely hope no other travelers have to experience the same level of frustration and disappointment. Given the considerable inconvenience, unexpected costs, wasted vacation time, and the absence of any acknowledgment of responsibility, some form of compensation and a formal apology would be more than justified. Incidents like this make it difficult not to feel that we are living in an increasingly sad, hopeless, and pathetic world where accountability has become the exception rather than the rule.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Provincetown and Cape Cod High Speed Ferry to/from Boston: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Cod.
How much does Provincetown and Cape Cod High Speed Ferry to/from Boston cost?
+
Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Cod usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Provincetown and Cape Cod High Speed Ferry to/from Boston take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cape Cod is not rushed.
Is Provincetown and Cape Cod High Speed Ferry to/from Boston worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 176 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape Cod, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Provincetown and Cape Cod High Speed Ferry to/from Boston?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Provincetown and Cape Cod High Speed Ferry to/from Boston suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Provincetown and Cape Cod High Speed Ferry to/from Boston?
+
Around 62 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cape Cod can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cape Cod and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Provincetown and Cape Cod High Speed Ferry to/from Boston start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cape Cod within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cape Cod?
+
Cape Cod covers Provincetown whale watching over Stellwagen Bank, dune tours in the National Seashore, seal cruises off Chatham, lighthouse loops and ferry day trips to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. Whale sighting policies vary between operators. On Outty we rank every Cape Cod experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Lucinda Lipol Tour of Provincetown, Chatham Bites and Sights Walking Guided Food Tasting Tour, Wine and Wine Jelly-Sauce Tasting on Plymouth Bay. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cape Cod?
+
June to September, with whales from April to October. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cape Cod?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
