Nantucket lies 22 miles south of Cape Cod. Approaching Nantucket from the west, in Nantucket Sound, you will pass along the Cross Rip Channel - between Cross Rip Shoal and Horseshoe Shoal. It is suggested that you stay within the channel markers. You will pass Tuckernuck Shoal to your starboard as you approach the entrance to Nantucket Harbor, which is marked by the red and white "NB" buoy. Proceed down the channel, rounding Brant Point Lighthouse to starboard. Nantucket Boat Basin is located on the western side of the harbor.
