Introduction

---

Continuing the area's maritime tradition, the Quoddy Loop's center is connected by a series of ferries (all Canadian operations). These vessels transport travellers and vehicles among the five principal islands (Campobello Island, Deer Island, Grand Manan, White Head Island, and Eastport (Moose Island)) and the mainland of New Brunswick. Moose Island and Campobello Island are both connected to the Maine mainland--Moose Island by tidal dike causeways, and Campobello Island by the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Bridge ("international bridge") to Lubec.

While Campobello Island and Eastport are now connected to the mainland of Maine by bridge or causeways, they maintain their link to their sister islands in the summer months. Doing so provides easier connections with friends, family, and neighbors, facilitates commerce, and provides a fun, refreshing, and relaxing experience on the water.

As a bonus, ferry travel in the Quoddy Loop frequently results in sighting seabirds, porpois and dolphins, seals, and an occasional whale!

Since the ferries are based in New Brunswick, Canada, they operate on Atlantic Time (AT), which is one hour ahead of Eastern Time (ET). (NOTE: 1:00 pm AT = Noon ET). Both New Brunswick and Maine observe Daylight Saving Time.

Embarking on the Deer Island ferries generally begins precisely at the designated departure time; however, it is a rapid process, and departure is swift; therefore...

Be sure to arrive at the ferry landing well in advance of departure time!

On Grand Manan, during busy periods, you may need to park in line a day ahead of departure (and move up in line with each departure--ask locally about departure conditions), to ensure passage. The only reservations allowed are one day in advance, and only on trips departing from Grand Manan (not from Blacks Harbour). To make reservations, call 506-662-3724 and select the "advance ticket" menu.
