About the Hingham Ferry Terminal (HING) – Peddocks Island (PI) crossing
09:00, 10:30, 12:00, 14:30, 16:30 — every day from 15 June to 12 October. Five sailings, and the gap between the third and fourth is two and a half hours against the ninety minutes before it.
Thirty-five minutes for 2.7 nautical miles
Under five knots. On a Boston Harbor Islands run that is not a slow boat, it is a boat that calls somewhere else on the way — the inter-island services thread several landings on a single loop.
Plan the return, not the outbound
With the last departure from Hingham at half past four, the day is bounded at the far end rather than this one. Anyone going out on the 16:30 is going out to stay, not to look round and come back.
A four-month season
Nothing is listed outside the summer window. Peddocks has camping and a former fort; both close when the boats stop.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Inter-island shuttles from Georges and Spectacle
- Lighthouse cruise to Boston Light
- Camping on several islands
- Free and discounted access arrangements
Onboard facilities and vehicle, pet and luggage policies vary by operator and vessel; confirm details with the operator before booking.
