The CAT Ferry Is Back and Faster Than Ever

The CAT is back!

The high-speed CAT car ferry service is now sailing for the summer. At 3.5 hours, it’s the fast and entertaining way to travel between Bar Harbor, Maine, and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.

Spend less time driving and more time taking in the amazing sights of the Gulf of Maine, Canadian Maritimes and the Northeastern United States from the decks and venues of The CAT.

Onboard, get a taste of the East Coast with live entertainment through our Music on the Gulf program. Prefer indoor views? Search for the perfect souvenir at the Scotia Market Gift Shop. More of a foodie? We have three unique dining venues to savor. Grab a cup of joe and a variety of snacks to go at our Sip at Sea Café, enjoy the scenery with breakfast, lunch or dinner at Scotia Market, and dive into regional surf and turf at Forchu Lounge with a selection of local wines and beers, paired with fresh seafood and locally sourced ingredients.

Think life can’t always be fun and games? Of course, it can! With daily film screenings in our movie area and onboard tours, The CAT is the easy – and fast – way to navigate a road trip for all ages that doesn’t include the words: “Are we there yet?”

Departing Bar Harbor at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time, you arrive in Yarmouth just in time to enjoy supper before setting out to explore all Nova Scotia has to offer. Marvel at the world’s highest tides, legendary whale watching and strings of pretty fishing towns. Visit majestic lighthouses, spectacular dunes and extraordinary beaches.

The CAT now departs Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, at a comfortable 9:30 a.m. Atlantic Time, so even with check-in an hour before sailing, you’ll be well rested and ready for your ocean voyage.

It’s the best of both worlds – experience land and sea with The CAT.
