AT YO U R
Service
Despite its remote location 26 miles at
sea, Nantucket’s Police and Fire Departments,
Department of Public Works, Coast Guard
and Cottage Hospital – among others – are
dedicated to insuring your safety and security,
while banks, beauty salons, cleaners, landscapers and a host of other home services
provide the comforts and conveniences of
the mainland. For such a small island, the
diversity and scope of services available here
are quite extensive. Peruse the following
pages – from Accountants to Web Design –
for a list of the myriad services and transportation options to suit every imaginable need.
Note the five airlines that provide convenient and reliable transportation – both
seasonal and year-round – to this far flung
sandy outpost, as well as the aircraft charters
that service Nantucket from Massachusetts
and the tri-state area.
If you require an advertising or design
agency, no need to travel to a major city...
they’re right here. As are appliance repair,
animal care, attorneys, insurance agencies,
consulting services, investment services,
schools and educational opportunities,
and so much more.
Most impressive are the numerous
associations and organizations which
contribute to the ongoing vitality of our island
and represent the dedicated, concerted
efforts of groups to protect Nantucket Sound,
educate about Autism, build homes and
provide services for the less privileged, and
bring injured soldiers and their families
to the island for respite and relaxation,
acknowledging their patriotism and heroism
in the face of war.
Pride in service – and a passionate
dedication to the community – are
watchwords on Nantucket, whether those
who serve are natives or “washashores.”
A significant number of organizations and
associations – many of which
