'Jaws' Returns to Martha's Vineyard for Terrifying Screening Where Fans Watch from the Water

Steven Spielberg's classic film "Jaws" is returning to its original filming location in a uniquely immersive way. A special screening event will be held on Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, where attendees must sit in the water to watch the iconic movie, bringing the terrifying "open beach" atmosphere of the film directly into reality.

While "Jaws" is set in the fictional New England town of Amity Island, it was primarily filmed around Martha’s Vineyard, with Tisbury being a key pilgrimage site for fans. As the film approaches its 50th anniversary, theaters and documentary programs have launched various retrospective events, but this "Jaws: On Amity Island" on-the-water screening is being hailed as one of the most special commemorative formats yet.

According to reports, this limited event will take place on July 11, coinciding with the finale of Discovery's "Shark Week." General admission tickets are almost completely sold out. Those still hoping to attend can purchase a $250 VIP ticket, which includes a VIP seat, local food and drinks, and a commemorative float, allowing fans to drift on the water while rewatching the classic hunt for the great white shark.

After the news was announced, fans flocked to social media with jokes. One user riffed on the movie's famous line, writing, "You're gonna need a bigger float," while another joked that the event is all fun and games until a real shark shows up. By moving from the theater to the ocean, this screening undoubtedly elevates the fear and entertainment of "Jaws" to a whole new level.
