Exploring Nova Scotia - CAT Ferry from Bar Harbor to Yarmouth

Alrighty fellow travelers, it's time to go international for a couple days! Come join me aboard the CAT Ferry Service, that runs from Bar Harbor, Maine to the port town of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia in Canada. It's a 3-and-a-half-hour journey across the Atlantic to the entrance of the Bay of Fundy and Yarmouth from Bar Harbor.
The CAT Ferry began in 1998 and was a staple of aquatic travel between the two towns for a decade. Service stopped in 2009 and was not reintroduced to Bar Harbor until this year of 2022. A direct line into Canada this daily ferry offers the quickest and most efficient way of getting into Canada from Central Maine.

    i love when you hit the road by car or boat and good info on the place there.. It helps to hear they stats you provided (comparing flights). It's a nice change of pace to provide the history (Alabama ship info). Refreshing to see the travel and historic aspect of the journey. Invasion of Canada! Cool you got the fox in there

    Know it's not a cheap trip on the ferry, but hoping you can do it again and maybe go to Oak Island when in NS. Not sure if you have heard of the show on the History Channel but it's a big hit. Would probably get you a lot of views just from the fans of the show.

    Haha I laughed so hard about the Salvation Army - that one doesn't look too bad compared to some others I've seen around Ontario here. So much delicious looking food in this episode. Seems like a great ferry ride but I bet the waters can get rough. The fog was pretty thick on the way back!
