There are three ferry companies providing service to Monhegan. The most frequent option is the Monhegan Boat Line, leaving three times daily from Port Clyde in the high season. This is the only year-round ferry (actually, there are two ferries, the Elizabeth Ann and the elegant, older Laura B, a converted Army transport built in 1943); in winter they make the trip three times a week, weather permitting. Roundtrip fare is around $32. ($16 for kids); boxes of provisions and large items cost extra. Parking is available for around $4/day. http://monheganboat.com

The Balmy Days II ferry leaves from Boothbay Harbor once a day and also offers half-hour cruises around Monhegan. Service is from May until October and the price is around $30 roundtrip. Parking is available for around $6/day.

Hardy Boat Cruises leave from New Harbor twice a day during high season. A seal watch is included on the return trip.

Which Workshop whispers to your soul?

Frommer's Review

Handsome Monhegan House has accommodated guests since 1870, and it has the comfortable, worn patina of a venerable lodging house. Rooms at this four-floor walk-up are austere but comfortable; all share clean, dormitory-style bathrooms. The lobby with fireplace is a welcome spot to sit and take the fog-induced chill out of your bones (even Aug can be cool here), while the front deck is the place to lounge and keep an eye on the comings and goings of the village.
