Behind the Dockside, five huts sit on a grassy stretch of land by the ferry parking lot. These are the artist shanties, new this season. Available for rent by the week or for pop-up days, local artists can showcase their work to those enjoying the restaurant, heading to the ferry, or adventuring on a fishing charter. Check out the clothing and crafts in the shanties to witness local talent shine.

Right in the harbor, step aboard the 43-foot catamaran named Perseverance and venture to an island full of basking seals. Monomoy Island Excursions leaves the dock multiple times a day for hour and a half long tours. Regardless of the occasion, try it out to experience sea life from a whole new perspective.

For a further excursion at sea, the Freedom Cruise Line sails seasonally to downtown Nantucket directly from Saquatucket Harbor. The boat departs from Harwich Port three times daily in the summertime. Enjoy this stress-free voyage with free day parking, a private overnight lot, and a snack bar on board. In just 80 minutes, you will be perusing the island streets thanks to the ease of the Freedom Cruise Line.
