Tired of the same old destinations? Let me take you on a journey through one of the most delightful rides I’ve ever taken — the Snackachusetts Ferry. It’s not just a ferry. It’s a snack-lover’s pilgrimage.
🗺️ Setting Sail from Crumb Harbor
The day began at Crumb Harbor, a laid-back little port tucked into Chorecrastination Bay. There was a gentle breeze, a scent of sea salt mixed with cheese puffs, and a crew that looked more like snack sommeliers than sailors.
Once aboard, we pulled away across the scenic Munchie Waters en route to the legendary Snackachusetts Island, where the only laws are flavor-based and nothing is gluten-free unless it’s by accident.
🍿 The Onboard Experience
This wasn’t your average ferry. The moment I stepped on deck, I was handed a “Snack Buddy” wristband and pointed toward the soft-serve station (a legal requirement, apparently). Picnic tables with gingham cloths lined the rails, and the vending machine bartenders were already serving fizzy sodas with cocktail umbrellas.
Oh, and yes — the Nacho Navigation Deck is real. The captain literally steers with a cheese wheel.
🕒 Schedule & Quirks
The ferry runs hourly from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, except at 3:00 PM, when everyone takes part in the sacred **Snack Nap Shutdown**. Don’t bother trying to board during that time — even the seagulls chill.
- First ferry: 11:00 AM
- Last ferry: 7:00 PM (unless the captain needs “just one more cookie”)
Insider tip: Catch the Golden Hour Cruise at 6:00 PM. It comes with free cheese boards and a dramatic live reading of “Ode to a Potato Chip.”
🎟️ Pricing the Indulgence
The best part? It’s affordable:
- Adults: $5.00 + 1 unopened snack donation
- Kids: Free (with a gummy-sharing guardian)
- Pets: Allowed if certified in Barkcuterie 🐾🧀
Upgrade for $3 to fire the popcorn cannon from the top deck — totally worth it.
🛋️ Amenities Worth Snacking On
There’s seating for 64, ranging from bean bags to inflatable pretzel loungers. People mingled in the Uncrustables Lounge, dipped into the Mini Marshmallow Hot Tub, and swapped trail mix stories with strangers.
My Favorite Moments:
- The soft-serve machine gave out fortune cookie messages
- Someone brought a pet hedgehog in a snack hat
- I left with more calories than regrets

- “Transportation? No. Trans-snack-tation.”

Final Thoughts
If you’ve ever wanted to escape your inbox and sail into a snack-powered dreamscape, the Snackachusetts Ferry should be at the top of your list.
Come for the carbs, stay for the community. And maybe bring a second napkin — you’ll need it.
