Board a morning ferry to Martha’s Vineyard, an island long favoured for its natural beauty and notable visitors. Begin with a visit to the Gingerbread Cottage Museum in Oak Bluffs, where your Local Expert reveals the origins of this colourful 19th-century enclave. Enjoy free time to explore at your own pace — perhaps visit the Flying Horses Carousel, the oldest of its kind in America. Later, gain a broader perspective during an orientation of the island, passing coastal landmarks including State Beach, made famous by the film Jaws. This evening, savour island hospitality with a seasonal menu crafted from local farms, fishing boats and foragers during your dining experience at Bettini, located in your elegant hotel.
