What better way to experience Martha’s Vineyard – take a Jaws tour with us and you will have access to many of the films’ locations. You will hear many non-published stories about the filming, the actors, as well as being able to stop to take photos. The Jaws bridge is one of the top 5 attractions on the island.
Jaws Factoids:
- Although the movie is set in midsummer, producers began filming in early May 1974 to avoid an actors’ strike that was scheduled to begin July 1.
- Jaws was marred with so many technical problems that the originally scheduled 55-65 day shoot ballooned into 159 days, not counting post-production.
- Most highly anticipated movies were released around Christmastime, back then, but Spielberg took so long filming that the movie had a summer release date, which was traditionally reserved for low-end movies.
- Townspeople of Martha’s Vineyard were paid $64 each for playing extras who ran across the beach and screamed during the shark attack scene.

2.00Mixed reviews on this tour. Matt our driver knows his Jaws and wrote a book about it, but not the best oral storyteller. Van was hot and rarely cooled to comfortable for 4 hrs. Pros we got to see the whole island of Martha’s Vineyard with a little history. Cons too long, boring for teen with me and myself, wished we could have gotten out of the van more to see beaches and sites besides a drive by. Also, some of the spots we stopped would be an empty lot where a prop was for the movie like Quinn’s shanty. Traffic was busy so I get the time it took, but overall too long, stifling and somewhat boring.

5.00It's not all about Jaws it's a whole tour of Marthas vineyard and I wasn't sure how I felt about that at first but it ended being really cool and I wouldn't have been able to see all of it if it wasn't for this tour . Jon was amazing and very detailed
