Please visit this website to view the ferry schedules.
Most of you will be coming from Northeast harbor on the Beal and Bunker mail boat.
If you are coming on Sunday the earliest boat that leaves the harbor is 10am.
There is also a 12pm, a 2pm, a 4pm, and a 6pm departure.
Every other day of the week includes a 7:30am departure.
Those of you coming over on Wednesday for the wedding will want to take the 2pm boat from Northeast harbor. However, the ceremony does not start until 4pm, so you will have about an hour 1/2 on the island before hand. You could use this time to explore the island a bit. Colin and I have gone over a few times to hike around. There will also be many people gathered in the park mingling.
There is also the option to come over on the Southwest harbor ferry that departs 3pm and arrives to the island at 3:40pm. The ceremony site is very close by, just a block to walk. We will post signs pointing to the spot.
However, if you choose to come over on the southwest harbor ferry, you will have to pay for your own water taxi to get home at the end of the night because the last ferry back to that harbor is a 6pm. A water taxi cost 45 dollars one way.
If you choose to come from Northeast harbor, we have arranged for boats to take you back at the end of the evening for free, starting at 8:30-11pm.
There are two water taxi services:
Delight water taxi 207-244-5724
Cadillac water taxi 207-801-1898
BOTH FERRIES HAVE CONNECTION STOPS BEFORE THEY REACH LITTLE CRANBERRY ISLAND. The first stop is for Great Cranberry Island- so obviously, you will want to just sit tight for the first stop.
The Northeast Harbor ferry is 12 dollars one way.
The Southwest Harbor is 15 dollars one way (Southwest is a farther boat ride)
Children under 3 are free for both
For those of you staying on the island for a few days, you will be getting a group discount rate.
PARKING:
in Northeast Harbor
There are two options: You can park in the same lot as the police station which is next to the ferry terminal for a 10 dollar a night fee. OR, you can park in the "Joy lot" which does require a parking sticker. We are trying to obtain those now and will make sure everyone coming has one- there is also a free lot that is first come first serve.
In Southwest Harbor:
There are a few lots that also require 10 dollar fees and there is also a free lot. Please email me if you think you will be parking in Southwest so I can give you directions.
ALL OF THIS INFO IS ON THE WEBSITE I POSTED AT THE TOP OF THIS BLOG.
