Isle au Haut Boat Services
Isle au Haut Boat Services operates year-round passenger, mail and freight service between Stonington and Isle au Haut, and seasonal service to the Duck Harbor Landing of Acadia National Park. They are happy to serve their seasonal residents and daily visitors during the busy summer months, but their mission is also to support Isle au Haut’s year-round community during the quiet winter months.
For an unbridged island, reliable daily service is a fundamental part of building a sustainable community. Many of the things they take for granted - daily attendance for high school students, visits to the doctor, visits from friends and family, delivery of parcels - take on new dimensions when the ferry service is the only link from island to mainland. In 2008 they covered about 75% of their operating expenses from passenger, mail and freight income. The remaining 25% is funded by the Town of Isle au Haut, by the US Department of Transportation, by the National Park Service and by tax deductible contributions from private donors.
