Did you know that Casco Bay Lines has an easy to read app "Boats 4" which will provide you with up-to-date ferry schedules? Go to your app store and download the app entitled "Boats 4 Casco Bay Ferry Schedules".

There is also a tracking system available through CBL to provide real time and predicted arrival information of ferries (as well as other public transportation). Although it works on an iphone via a 3rd party mobile app, it is better used on a tablet, laptop and desktop computer.

CASCO BAY ISLANDS ALLIANCE

"A VOICE FOR THE ISLANDS"

CBIA seeks to be the “voice of the Casco Bay islands.” The organization advocates for a cleaner environment, open space, and reliable transportation but has expanded its focus to include the preservation of island culture, traditions, and history. It fosters inter-island communication and cooperation to address mainland issues such as parking and school department plans that affect the island communities. To further its mission, CBIA also awards small grants to island non-profits in support of projects that benefit their communities.
