Quick answer

How much does a Martha's Vineyard bachelorette weekend cost?

Budget by category, not a single fake total: lodging is usually the largest line, then travel, then one signature dinner and one paid highlight. Per-person ranges swing with group size, season, and whether you need cars or Up-Island house logistics.

  • Biggest line Lodging (especially peak summer walkable or large-house rentals)
  • Next Ferry/flights + shared ground transport
  • Protect One great Saturday dinner and one paid highlight
  • Save House breakfasts, flexible daytime plans, shoulder-season dates

Where a typical weekend actually goes

A working split for a mid-size group in peak season. Your lodging line moves first when you add bedrooms or Edgartown-in-core dates.

  • Lodging · 45% Town + bedrooms + peak dates
  • Travel · 25% Passenger vs car ferry, flights
  • Food · 20% One reserved dinner vs chef night
  • Highlight · 10% Charter or activity, split by headcount

Treat these as planning weights, not quotes. Split travel and the highlight by headcount; lodging is usually the house, not per person.

What actually moves the number

Spend freely on the Saturday table if that is the point of the weekend — and still put the lodging split in a spreadsheet. Transparent Venmo beats awkward Venmo. No fake-precise prices here; just the buckets that move.
