It’s one of the most recognizable sounds in all of New England. For decades, it has served as the official signal of the summer season. Every local in the region knows that when you hear those calypso-inspired steel drums and that iconic intro, good times are coming:
“Sail Away on the Block Island Ferry…”
The end of the year is the perfect time to sit back and reflect on great moments and also look forward to great things to come. 2016 was yet another great year for the Block Island Ferry and the Block Island community. This year saw some of our favorite island traditions carried on, as well as some historic new innovations. Through it all, the Ferry was there to guide and bracket all of your island experiences and we couldn’t be more proud to continue in that role.
A Block Island Christmas getaway is a bit of a “best kept secret” around this time of year. While the summertime gets all of the shine, the cooler seasons often get overlooked. With the merriest of seasons getting busier every year on the mainland, it may be time to seriously consider escaping to the Island for Christmas.
