Block Island Express

This is the only way I travel to Block. The regular Ferry takes a long time but is nice if you are going to the Island once in a blue moon, but if you go regularly, then the High Speed is the only way. Make the most of each visit and just get to Block in 30 minutes. You can park right near the docks (across the street) for $10-15 a day and swiftly get to your car after you arrive back from the Island. This is the best mode of travel for anyone that tends to get seasick as well. Believe me....

I work nearby and am always helping visitors that park in the Water Street Garage find their way to the ferry -- it seems they don't have anything clearly marked for newcomers. So if you plan on parking at the Water Street Garage and are walking, I hope this detailed map helps some of you find their way. There are two separate ways to go, hence the blue and red lines on the map, but the red line is much quicker/safer in my opinion because you will encounter less traffic and it's a shorter walk, but it really depends on where you park in the garage. The blue line also encounters more vehicles that are boarding the other ferry so if you want to avoid that, follow the red line. Although the map pulls up the main building as the location, if you've already purchased your tickets you can walk straight to the highlighted box next to where you will board. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS FOR WALKERS ONLY, NOT VEHICLES. BE SURE TO PAY ATTENTION TO TRAFFIC AND BE SAFE. Edit: Please note that you should give yourself an extra 20-30 minutes to find a parking space and to walk to the ferry site. So many people that are running late end up cramming themselves into a space that blocks traffic for the rest of us all day because they didn't account for parking time.

havent been in awhile, im just trying to balance off the inane anti-smoking review below. And i dont even smoke, but c'mon, get over yourself. Smokers really bother you outdoors, on a BOAT?!? What a ludicrous reason to give a reputable company a 1-star review. I swear, there's now a sizable portion of our country that wont be satisfied til we're all outfitted with jackboots & (forcibly) pledging ourselves to some flag with crossed hammers. (Or something like that.)
