The airport is on the northern outskirts of Hyannis at the traffic-circle ("rotary") intersection of MA 28 & 132, 6/10 mile (1 km) NW of the Hyannis Transportation Center, which is only 200 yards/meters from the town center (map).

Several companies based here offer small planes for charter.

By Ferryboat

Hyannis has two main ferry docks (map), at the foot of Ocean Street for Hy-Line Cruises passenger ferries to Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard islands, and at the foot of Pleasant Street for the passenger and car ferries operated by the Steamship Authority (tel 508-477-8600).

Shuttle buses connect the Hyannis Transportation Center to the ferry docks, but you can walk there in about 15 minutes if your luggage is not heavy.
