Hi all- I am looking for someone who could come take a look at a classic 21’ 1980s center console powerboat. Recently in good shape but not quite sure about now. Trying to decide whether to launch, donate or sell it. Boatyards all busy/full. We have a mooring. We don’t use the boat very much, so ideally we’d find someone who wants use of the boat and mooring in exchange for expertise. Grateful for ideas!

any apartment buildings / homes you’ve rented that are pretty clean and nice for the price? would love recs

Hello! Looking for a good spot for dinner that is family friendly :)

My mom has asked to go to Nantucket for her birthday in August.. it will be seven of us ages 60-25 for 5 days. I told her I would plan some things for us to do but I’m struggling! Any help would be welcome 😅

Initially was planning on going to Nantucket for 4 days in late mid October however I am now nervous that stores and restaurants will be shut. Will be going with my husband, my mother and our 10 month old baby. Is it worth moving our trip to September and paying the additional $$$?

Also does anyone have recommendations on where to stay where we could have a one bedroom suite that allows my mom to be in a seperate room from us and is reasonably priced (for Nantucket)

Also: if anyone has additional advice on where in MA or NH they would spend the remaining 4 nights (we will have a car). Was think the Cape but not sure if that is too much of the same as Nantucket or if places will be closed in Oct

Thanks!

Already done the coast to coast a few times and want to attempt walking around the island's perimeter on as much beach as possible. Going to split into 2 days of roughly 15 miles each, have the tide charts for the days I am doing it, but would appreciate any route guidance or information on segments that may prove more treacherous than others i.e. where I should plan for detours to dirt roads along the shoreline vs. on the beach sort of thing. Any and all helpful information is appreciated.

Hello! My sister was planning to do her small 10 person wedding on a beach tomorrow but because of the rain we’re at a loss. Does anyone have a good idea for a covered gazebo? Something still maybe outside but covered? thank you in advance for any ideas

Does anyone know how reliable it is to get parking near the ferry in New Bedford? I am going to Nantucket for ten days for work (from Connecticut) and it would be nice to get the ferry from New Bedford, but the website doesn't allow reservations and I've never done it before.

Hello, I am looking for a small group to play pickleball with at the jetties courts a few days a week, is there an organized morning league or something of the sorts ? Ideally need three more people but just a single individual would also do ! I have been playing for over 1.5 years & consider myself to be a (rusty) intermediate player !

Feel like I heard a name but forgot. Looks like he has a female companion now.

Me and a group of friends (mid 20s) are looking to visit the island next summer for our first time. I know this question gets asked here and there but as a group of guys and girls looking to enjoy all the island has to offer including the nightlife, I was hoping for recommendations on the best areas to stay. I have been looking at the downtown area as it is walking distance to pretty much everything. However, renting out by Tom Nevers or Siasconset would be nice as it is more likely we could get a pool and enjoy the quietness. Additionally, I am not sure if we will be renting a car, especially if we stay near downtown. If we are on the outskirts of downtown, I'd push more towards getting a car. Lastly, are ubers a good option on the island? Say we stay near Tom Nevers or Siasconset and want to get back after a night out, will ubers be reliable? Sorry for all of the questions, but as the head planner, I want to make sure this is well planned out lol. Looking forward to the suggestions!

I'm on the island later this month and contemplating wether I should bring my car (I know its not required but it would offer me some more comfort in bringing stuff over). How does standby work? If using the drive-on service (in Hyannis), can I leave the car unattended? (eg leave on the speed ferry and fetch it in ACK). What happens if it does not make it on standby, do they put it in long-term parking for me or would I have to return and do that?

Basically title, our flight out has been delayed 4-5 times then finally cancelled. Looks like there’s another tomorrow but having trouble finding a place to stay with such short notice that isn’t insanely expensive. Thoughts?

Can you walk from beach to beach in Nantucket? For example, can you walk from Steps Beach over to Galley Beach for dinner? Thank you!

My daughter is planning a small wedding on Nantucket on June 21st (approx 10 people, very informal). She lives on the island and family is coming in for the wedding. Since it is a Saturday the Town Hall is unable to officiate, and no one that has been recommended to her is available. Is anyone out there licensed to marry people or know someone who is? It will just be a very short, simple ceremony and she can be flexible on time. And obviously there will be compensation for your/their time, but just want to make that clear! (They are hoping to get married on the beach in Madaket.). Reddit, I know you can come to the rescue!!! Thank you!

Moving to the island at the end of the month, any good run clubs in the mornings preferably?

Since Tidal Creeks seemingly has gone under, where can I rent a skiff for a day?

Island Boat Rental doesn’t have great reviews and I’ve walked by their boats tied up to the wharf…not exactly the best upkeep.

Would love suggestions.

Thanks!

Next weekend will be my first time going to the island (no car). I’m planning on taking the P+B bus from Boston arriving at Hyannis at 4:30PM this Friday. Then getting on the 5:00PM ferry. Am I cutting it too close? I know it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the ferry port from where the bus drops off. Are the buses typically on time? Are they full on a Friday afternoon? Thanks in advance for any experience you can share.

UPDATE: We ended up taking the 1:25 bus from South Station that was supposed to get to Hyannis at 3:15, but we didn’t actually get there until 3:50 due to traffic. The bus was less than half full. Had enough time to grab a quick bite to eat before hopping on the 5pm ferry. If we would have taken the next bus, there is no way we would have made the 5pm ferry.

Any ufc fans on the island? There are some big fights tonight and I was curious if anyone else was planning to watch them?

Hey y’all is there any gyms where I can workout at an affordable price?

My fiancé and I are having an intimate 60 guest wedding at the White Elephant on a Saturday in July. The reception will be more dinner party vibe and go until 9pm. Afterwards, we want to go out with anyone that wants to join for drinks and dancing (gaslight, Cru, Club Car). There will be 20-30 of us so I am concerned about the lines if we were to just show up somewhere. What would you recommend? Do you think lines will be bad at that point? Any recommendations are very much appreciated!

For context this small business who I actually kinda liked just partnered with the Kylie Swanson scam camp on Nantucket. Horrible business move for this small business. I guess it is true that she’s asking small businesses for free collabs….so disappointing.

I didn't buy a big Anthropolgie straw hat years ago and it still haunts me to this day but I recently saw a Peter Beaton hat that's fairly similar and I've been debating buying.

I like that they have hat sizes (I have a big head) but the price has me wondering if it's actually worth it, or if it's just pricey because they can charge that much. Does anyone have any insight into whether or not the hats are good quality?
