Islesboro Public Landing

The Margaret Chase Smith ferry is operated by the Maine State Ferry Service connecting Lincolnville Beach and the island of Islesboro. Depending on the month, the ferry makes the twenty minute passage between 12 and 18 times per day. The boat leaves Lincolnville on the hour and Islesboro half past the hour. The current ferry schedule can be viewed on the State’s website. Please remain aware of rules for traveling on the Margaret Chase Smith. These rules are observed and this is particularly true during the busy summer months when lines can be long. Failing to follow the rules will likely see you repositioned to the back of the line. The rules are posted at the terminals and are summarized here.
