Island living is alive and well in Casco Bay. Did you know there are only 14 un-bridged islands in Maine that claim year-round residency? Six of them are yours to explore right here in Casco Bay.
Get a taste of what it's really like to live on an island. Regularly scheduled ferry service provides a glimpse of inhabited islands in Casco Bay and an opportunity to visit. You'll witness how islanders live; you'll see how they get their mail, their vehicles, and their daily supplies.
Take along a picnic or just sit quietly while you pass the rocky shorelines, wooded landscapes, island homes, boatyards and beaches. From sailboats, fishing vessels, and working lobster boats, our cruises offer a stunning panorama of what Mother Nature and the Maine coast have to offer.
