Planning a bachelor party on Martha’s Vineyard? VIP Entertainment Inc. books professional exotic dancers for private parties on the Vineyard, and we know exactly how the island works. The Steamship Authority runs the show, not us. Ferry schedules are non-negotiable and your party timeline needs to be built around them. We learned that the hard way and now we plan every Martha’s Vineyard booking around it from the start.
The Ferry — Plan Your Party Around It
This is the most important thing to know about booking a Martha’s Vineyard bachelor party with entertainment. The Steamship Authority ferry from Woods Hole runs on a fixed schedule and the last ferry back to the mainland is typically around 9:30 pm depending on the season. If you want three hours of entertainment and your dancers need to make the last ferry off the island, your show needs to start no later than 6pm. Book accordingly.
Last weekend Bella and Pearl were on their way to a Martha’s Vineyard party. The ferry departure was 3:45pm. They got on at 3:44pm. One minute to spare. Pearl had already FaceTimed the customer from the boat, he saw exactly who was coming, they talked, he was excited. The girls got on the island, did a fantastic show, caught the last ferry at 9:30pm, and the customers were texting Pearl all night asking them to come back. That is a Martha’s Vineyard party done right, but it only works when everyone respects the ferry schedule.
Option Two — Stay Overnight
If your group wants a longer night without worrying about the last ferry, your dancers can book a hotel room on the island and stay overnight. This gives you more flexibility on start time and show length. Fair warning, Martha’s Vineyard hotel rooms in summer are not cheap. But for the right group that wants an all-night Vineyard experience it is an option worth considering. Call us and we will work out the logistics.
Martha’s Vineyard Bachelor Parties — What to Expect
Martha’s Vineyard draws serious bachelor party groups from Boston, New York, and Connecticut, groups renting summer houses, staying at waterfront hotels, and looking for a complete island experience. Our parties are intimate groups of 10 to 15 friends at private rentals and hotel suites, everyone tipping, everyone engaged, everyone having the best night of the trip. No club floor, no stage rotation, just your group and your entertainment in a private setting.
The Vineyard has great restaurants, great nightlife, and a summer energy that is hard to beat. Many groups do dinner in Edgartown or Oak Bluffs first and then call us for the show back at the rental. We time it perfectly, you enjoy your island dinner, we handle the rest.
Real Photos, Real Strippers — No Surprises

No surprises, no last minute substitutions, no stock photos of women who have never been to Massachusetts let alone Martha’s Vineyard.

✅ FAQ Section
When should I book Martha’s Vineyard strippers?
As soon as you confirm your rental or event date. Island parties require advance planning and ferry coordination.

Because the last ferry off the island is typically the only reliable transportation option. Starting earlier ensures the show runs smoothly and everyone gets home safely.
Do you have dancers living on Martha’s Vineyard?
No. All performers travel from the mainland, so ferry transportation must be arranged and covered by the client.

Yes. We travel to private vacation rentals, waterfront homes, boats, and estates throughout Martha’s Vineyard.
