Maine - Sept 1 - Sept 8
Getting There
I have not looked into airfares but here are the choices. For any option, you will want to come in the night before, giving you the morning of Saturday to get to the boat by noon and hopefully earlier in order to provision and load.
Fly into Portland (146 miles)
The Portland (ME) airport is almost 4 hours away, so Bangor is preferable. Atlantic Taxi would pick up here, but didn't ask how much. Fly into Bangor (45 miles) See Atlantic taxi info below Fly into Boston (254 miles) - Then on to Bangor: Concord Trailways: Picks up at the airport and goes to Bangor. $71/round trip. e.g. leaves 9:20 arrives 2:30pm, leaves 1:35 arrives 6:30pm. Atlantic Taxi from Bangor to Bucks Harbor. 90 minutes. $125 for the entire vehicle which is split. Will stop for provisions. -OR- Fly into Bangor: From Boston (Cape Air 9 passenger $59/one-way, there is another more expensive and bigger planes). Atlantic Taxi from Bangor to Bucks Harbor. 60 minutes. $65 for the entire vehicle which is split. Will stop for provisions. |
