Vinalhaven Ferry Service
The Maine State Ferry Service offers daily trips to and from Vinalhaven.
Two passenger/auto ferries run simultaneously from Rockland and Vinalhaven.
The daily schedule from April - October is:
| 7:00am reservations available on this boat from Vinalhaven only |
| 8:45am reservations available on this boat from Rockland only |
| 11:15am reservations available on this boat from Vinalhaven only |
| 1:00pm reservations available on this boat from Rockland only |

| 4:30pm reservations available on this boat from Rockland only |
| Please note that there is limited space for automobiles
aboard the ferries, with tractor trailers, cement trucks and other
construction vehicles making daily trips. The Maine State Ferry Service
restricts the number of reservations available for each boat to about 5
vehicles, but that number is dependant on the size of vehicles making
reservations. Trips originating from Vinalhaven require either a
reservation, available one month in advance, or a line number available
at the Ferry Terminal Office the day before your departure. (Ferry
procedures are outlined in the Vinalhaven Island Rentals notebook
available in each rental property.) Trips originating from Rockland
require either a reservation, again, available one month in advance, or
you must put your vehicle in line, (be sure it is the Vinalhaven Ferry
Line and not the North Haven Ferry Line) and then be sure to be in your
vehicle 15 minutes prior to the departure time to advance your car in
line as each ferry loads for departure. On Saturdays during the summer
months, plan on enjoying Rockland and its many restaurants, shops and
The Farnsworth Museum while advancing your car in line. |
