Frequently Asked Questions

Question:

Can I transport or consume alcoholic beverages aboard the ferry?

Answer:

Massachusetts law also prohibits passengers from consuming alcoholic beverages aboard any Authority vessel other than those sold by the Authority’s licensed concessionaire. Passengers are not allowed to bring alcoholic beverages on or off a vessel except for such beverages as they are transporting as personal baggage in unopened containers which may not be opened while the vessel is underway. Further, the Authority’s licensed concessionaire may not serve alcoholic beverages to any passenger while the vessel is at dockside or prior to casting off. Nor may alcoholic beverages be served on trips of more than two hours to any passenger within one-half hour before the vessel docks.
