So you’ve registered for your stay on Star or booked your day trip –  and now it’s time to figure out how to get to the dock in Portsmouth! Your GPS is great, and here are our suggestions for traveling to the Portsmouth, NH area and hopping aboard the M/V Thomas Laighton or M/V Challenger out to Star.

Before we get started though, please note the final destination is 315 Market Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801 – the Isles of Shoals Steamship Company.
