All tickets can be purchased at our terminal on the Maine State Pier. All tickets are round trip and are collected in Portland at boarding. Round trip passage is defined as transportation to an island with return on a different boat. Round trip tickets expire 60 days after issue.
Cash, Check, MasterCard and Visa are all acceptable forms of payment.
Child fares are for children aged 5-13. There is no charge for children under 5.
Senior fares are for people 65 years of age or over.
A Medicare Card, METRO Reduced Fare card or an out of state disability card issued by a transit agency of that State may be presented at the Ticket Office to validate half fares for persons with transportation disabilities. We ask your assistance by always presenting proper ID when purchasing half fare tickets.
Commuter Book tickets are for exclusive use only by the purchaser and his or her immediate family and are not otherwise transferable. The purchaser’s immediate family shall include his or her spouse and any or all purchaser’s children under 18 who live with the purchaser. Passenger Commuter Book tickets expire 15 days after issue.

Dogs require tickets to board and must be kept leashed at all times.
Service animals do not require tickets to board but must be harnessed, leashed or tethered while in public places, unless doing so prevents the service animal from providing the assistance for which it is used, and/or unless the rider is unable to use a leash. ADA regulations acknowledge that service animals can be controlled by other means other than leashing or harnessing (e.g. by voice command).
Bicycles require tickets or must be shipped as freight.

Frequent Rider Pass
The Frequent Rider Pass program is designed for convenience while offering savings to those who travel with Casco Bay Lines more than 5 times per week.
How to Get Started: Purchase a pass for your island destination at the ticket window for $5.00. You will need to have your picture taken, so please plan to come at a slow time (not just before boat departure!). A laminated photo ID card will be made for you and will be available in a day or two.
There are two types of passes: Annual and Monthly pass.
Annual Pass
This is the easiest option and the most cost-effective. The Annual Pass is pre-paid for one full year from the date of purchase and allows you unlimited passage to the island. The Annual Pass also includes transportation of one bicycle and/or one domesticated animal (dog/cat) along with the pass holder.
| Island | Annual Pass |
| Peaks Island | $906.95 |
| Little Diamond Island | $968.00 |
| Great Diamond Island | $1174.25 |
| Diamond Cove | $1231.00 |
| Long Island | $1231.00 |
| Chebeague Island | $1263.35 |
| Cliff Island | $1376.65 |
Monthly Pass
With a Monthly Pass, you purchase a sticker for each calendar month and get unlimited passage to the island during that month. (There is a space on the monthly pass for a second sticker, which may be purchased in advance at the rate applicable to that month.)
| Island | Monthly Sticker | Monthly Sticker with Bicycle (+$10.00) |
| Peaks Island | $82.45 | $92.45 |
| Little Diamond Island | $88.00 | $98.00 |
| Great Diamond Island | $106.75 | $116.75 |
| Diamond Cove | $111.90 | $121.90 |
| Long Island | $111.90 | $121.90 |
| Chebeague Island | $114.85 | $124.85 |
| Cliff Island | $125.15 | $135.15 |
The Transit District’s policy concerning Monthly and Annual Passes includes the following restrictions:
- You must show your pass to the deckhand in order to board the boat.
- If you do not have your pass, you must purchase a ticket. This ticket will be refundable when you present your pass at the ticket window on a subsequent date, with a limit of refunds to two times within a twelve month period from date of issuance.
- Passes are non-transferable and may only be used by the person named on the pass. Failure to abide by this rule may result in permanent loss of the pass.
- If you lose your pass, a replacement may be purchased for an $8.00 fee.
Expired Ticket Refund Policy
Round Trip Ticket – Each ticket is good for 60 days. A refund is offered if tickets are turned in before the 60 days are up (less $.25 per passenger ticket and $1.00 per vehicle ticket). After a ticket has expired, each ticket can be turned in at the ticket counter toward the purchase of one ticket of the same type (e.g. adult for adult, child for child). The cost of swapping each ticket would be $.25 per passenger ticket and $1.00 per vehicle ticket. For tickets purchased at the higher price (seasonal rate change), the difference shall be paid by the purchaser.
Commuter Ticket – Each ticket in a book of Commuter Tickets is good for 14 days. Wholly unused and non-epxired commuter book tickets will be redeemed in the following manner:
The product of the number of tickets used from the commuter book times the regular round trip fare will be subtracted from the price of the commuter book, and the difference, minus the $.25 per ticket service charge, will be refunded to the purchaser.
Expired Commuter book tickets have no value after expiration.
