For those who prefer alternative accommodations, we recommend the following properties.

In-Town / Harbor Area

(Walkable, classic Nantucket — best for ease during the conference)

• White Elephant Nantucket
  One of Nantucket’s most iconic waterfront properties, offering harbor views and immediate access to downtown

• The Brant

  A chic boutique hotel tucked into a trio of 17th‑century‑style cedar-shingled houses, offering a laid-back coastal-luxury vibe

• 21 Broad
  A stylish boutique hotel in the historic district with a more modern, social atmosphere

• Life House Nantucket
  A thoughtfully designed boutique property with a residential feel and relaxed vibe

• Faraway Nantucket
  A newer, design-forward hotel with a lively courtyard and central downtown location

• The Blue Iris
  A charming, intimate inn offering a quieter stay just steps from downtown

• Greydon House
  A refined boutique hotel blending historic architecture with contemporary interiors

• 76 Main Ink Press Hotel
  A boutique, design-forward property located just steps from Main Street

Upscale / Quiet Retreat

(More private, better for extended stays)

• The Wauwinet
  A secluded, luxury retreat offering a quieter and more private Nantucket experience

Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK) is the primary airport serving the island.

For the most reliable travel experience, we recommend flying ta major carrier like United, Delta, and JetBlue. CapeAir out of Boston is very easy too, but can be subjected to more weather delays as it’s a smaller plane.

• From New York City
  These routes operate on larger aircraft and generally offer the most consistent access to Nantucket.

  Most nonstop service operates from Newark (EWR) via United Airlines, with limited service from JFK and LaGuardia via JetBlue and Delta.

• From Boston
  Frequent daily service via Cape Air (short flight on small aircraft), along with limited service via JetBlue

  Note: If traveling from outside the Northeast, you will need to connect through either New York City or Boston.

Private aircraft arrive into Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK).

• Pilots should contact UNICOM approximately 20 minutes prior to arrival to coordinate landing and parking

• Ground transportation is readily available upon arrival

• If you are interested in having additional passengers, please let Caroline Reyes (creyes@woffordadvisors.com / +1650-867-3420) know

For those seeking an alternative to commercial travel, semi-private options may be available on a seasonal basis.

• XO occasionally offers bookable seats on shared charter flights to Nantucket

• JSX does not typically service Nantucket directly but may be used in combination with a short connection

Availability is limited and varies by season, so we recommend checking directly with providers for current schedules.

The airport is located mid-island, approximately 5–10 minutes from downtown Nantucket.

• Taxis are typically available upon arrival

• Uber and Lyft operate on the island

• The Nantucket Hotel & Resort offers a complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport and ferry terminal

Rental cars are available and can be helpful if you plan to explore the island or extend your stay. However, for the conference itself, a car is not necessary given the proximity of venues and availability of transportation options.

Ferry service can be a good alternative if you are already in the Boston/Cape Cod area or if air travel is disrupted.

• High-speed (“fast”) ferry service is available from Hyannis, MA via:

  • Hy-Line Cruises

  • Steamship Authority

Ferries arrive in downtown Nantucket, within walking distance of many hotels.
