I am on vacation and want to get to Nantucket from Boston without a rental car and without flying?
Is there a ferry Boston to Nantucket?

You are probably going to want to take a bus. There are several bus services that may help out. P&B bus lines (Plymouth & Brockton) run from South Station/Logan Airport to Hyannis. I believe that there is a ferry to Nantucket in Hyannis.
I can't say for sure about a ferry from Boston to Nantucket. I do know that there is NO train that runs to Nantucket or the Cape for that matter.

Yep. The two girls above me are absolutely correct. I just came back from Nantucket this weekend. You take the Plymouth-Brockton Bus from SouthStation to Hyannis Transportation Center. From there you can walk or take the shuttle bus to Hyline Cruise where you take the Ferry to Nantucket. The websites the 1st girl gave you will provide the time and schedule.
But honestly, if I will do it again.. I will rather drive to Hyannis Transportation center than take the bus. Why? Because the bus schedule and ferry schedule don't coordiante. I find myself waiting at the bus station and ferry dock for up to 2 hours. And I had to take the 6 o' clock ferry to catch the 8:30pm bus cause that was the last bus back to Boston. I wanted to stay longer.
But trust me... Nantucket was awesome. I loved it sooooo much. You will have a fantastic time.

Boston has a wealthy history and a varied neighbourhood; it's a legacy of arts, culture, and training; Boston has something for anyone therefore find what Boston can offer you with hotelbye . The three-mile Freedom Trail leads you previous - and into - 16 of the city's key ancient monuments and sites. It's easy to follow, by the distinct red stones in the pavement and by footprints at street crossings. The walk may get you to Old Granary Burying Ground wherever Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock are buried; will get you to King's Chapel Burying Ground, the Boston's oldest cemetery; Old South Meeting House where the ringing speeches of patriots spawned the Boston Tea Party and the Old State House, Boston's oldest public developing and your website of the Boston Massacre.

Yes there is ferry service, but it's from Hyannis on Cape Cod, so you'd need to get from Boston itself or airport to Hyannis (by Plymouth and Brockton bus service since you don't have car) and then take one of several Ferry services from there.
To see how to get to Hyannis, try Hyannis Chamber of Commerce site, www.hyannis.com. To find out about ferry service, try Nantucket web site, www.allnantucket.com/nicferry.com

You can take a bus from Boston's South Station---Plymouth and Brockton bus lines is the line to take. Take the bus to either Hyannis or Woods Hole and then take the ferry to Nantucket.
