Seastreak Schedules Special Events for Islanders

Seastreak's Fast Ferry service between Martha's Vineyard and New Bedford is reaching out to the island community in 2014 by providing affordable opportunities to travel off the island for a day of entertainment.

First of all, Seastreak has decided to continue the very popular Foxwoods excursions that were offered last season.  Trips this year have been scheduled for 6/20, 7/18, 8/22, 9/19, and 10/13.

New for 2014 will be three trips to Six Flags in West Springfield, MA.  These fun-filled Six Flags trips are scheduled for 6/6, 7/25, and 8/29.

By underwriting the costs of ferry and bus transportation and by working with both Foxwoods and Six Flags, Seastreak is able to offer these round trip day events at a substantial savings for members of the island community.  Interested islanders should call 1-800-262-8743 or visit us on the web at www.seastreak.com.

Also in the planning stage is a July 5th Cape Cod Canal Fireworks Cruise. More details regarding these special opportunities will be posted in the Events Section of The Patch as we get closer to these dates.
