A fishing charter company will be offering Vineyarders a direct route to Nantucket for several inter-Island high school rivalry matchups in hockey and basketball.
Helen H. Offshore, a Hyannis-based fishing charter, will be operating direct travel services from Oak Bluffs to Nantucket on Dec. 14 and Jan. 3, with three round-trip options for each day. Helen H. boats will be open to all athletes, students, families, and fans.
While the Steamship Authority has provided direct trips between Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, these tended to be reserved for larger events like the annual Island Cup.
