Feast on a delicious catered brunch from D & D Caterers, including tossed salad, fruit salad, scrambled eggs, bacon & sausage, home fried potatoes, rice, barbeque chicken, scrod Portuguese, and danishes!
- Cruise in comfort
All Seastreak ferries are designed with passenger comfort and convenience in mind. Take advantage of the open-air top deck or choose a spacious seat in the temperature-controlled interior cabin. Our vessels are all equipped with state-of-the-art technology to make the ride as smooth as possible, so you won’t need to worry about spilling any coffee, tea, soft drinks, or alcoholic beverages that are available for purchase at the full-service bar. We’ll even put football on the TV monitors so you don’t miss the game!
