The Menemsha was purchased by her current owners in 1973, renamed Point Gammon, and spent many years providing service from Hyannis to Nantucket. Currently she travels the Martha's Vineyard to Nantucket route. Passengers board on the starboard side in Nantucket, and the port side in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts.

She is powered by two (originally four) CAT engines and has two screws. Her docking spot in Nantucket is Straight Wharf, in Oak Bluffs it's Memorial Wharf.
