I don't know that the ferry had a name - actually it was a catamaran and it is the only high-speed super cat ferry in the US. Super smooth most of the time. Leaves from Bar Harbor and lands in Yarmouth, NS. Usually takes 2-1/2 hours to Bar Harbor from Yarmouth, but it took us a bit longer as we left Yarmouth late and the water was rough - had a bit of a problem getting our bus on board. For a while we thought we'd have to wait until the next day, but they finally jacked that bus around so that it could make the very tight curve to get on the ferry. Was interesting watching the bus driver sweat!!!

Sounds the same as the trip I had, though the ferry was not a catamran, and was definitely not high speed.

The difference between high and low tides is still the most memorable part to me. I am a North Carolina native and accustomed to the high and low tides we have here. I would not want to be in the area if they had a hurricane,because the storm surge would unbelievable.
