Nantucket lies just 26 miles south of Cape Cod. Once known mainly for its whaling port, Nantucket is now a popular destination amongst travelers longing for something more out of a vacation. Its beautiful landscape features magnificent beaches, windswept moors, salt marshes, and coastal dunes. Set against all this beauty is Nantucket Boat Basin, a full-service marina that offers seafarers a unique glimpse of the island.
