Who Owns the Cat Ferry

The vessels, along with the ferry terminals, are owned by the Government of Canada.

What happened to the cat ferry?

The ferry didn’t run in the 2021 and 2020 seasons because of border restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2019 season was cancelled when the port of call in Maine was switched from Portland to Bar Harbor and things were not ready on the U.S. side to receive the ferry.

How much is the ferry from Maine to Nova Scotia?

One-way fares start at $107 for adults and $199 for vehicles. And since the ferry is a retired Navy vessel, there is plenty of room onboard. The boat can accommodate 750 passengers, as well as 200 cars.
