July 2026

CTC’s Biggest Weekend The week before the July 4 (Monday-Thursday): th Grocery shop ahead of time to beat the crowds. Pack perishables on ice or use ice packs in your cooler bags during hot weather or in the case the ferry is delayed. Bring your bulk freight items during the morning weekday trips to ensure it makes it to Chebeague. Buy tickets for you and your family. Make sure they have a physical or digital copy at time of boarding. Friday July 3rd: This is usually the busiest afternoon of the summer. Bulk freight will NOT be transported after the 12:15pm ferry. We will not have room for those items in the afternoon. Label and count your belongings, there will be a ton of luggage and groceries. Dogs must be on a leash when on the ferry. Saturday July 4th: The ferry will run a normal Saturday schedule including the 10:30/10:45pm trip. Be extra vigilant on the Stone Pier and roads on Chebeague. There will be a lot of pedestrian, bike and vehicle traffic. This includes the parade after the 10/10:15am ferry. Sunday July 5th: We anticipate the ferries leaving Chebeague to be very busy. Again, count your bags and pack your patience. We are all going to the same spot on Cousins Island. Travel safely on the mainland! As always our crew will be there to help with any questions!

Marine One (That’s us!) All of our summer friends are back on the Island, as well as some visitors. This means that the Chebeague population is booming. Unfortunately this means that CTC and the Chebeague Island Fire have been BUSY with Rescues: The second we know there is an EMS call, the ferry turns into a rescue boat to transport a patient. We cannot leave Chebeague until we are released by distpach. Rescues can take a lot of time, please be patient with the crew. If you get to the Stone Pier and the ferry is gone, don’t panic! We are coming back and will do our best to get you to the mainland. We are always in contact with the Bus during rescues so Route One Customers can get to their cars. Annual Meeting Annual Meeting July 19th July 19th 9:00 AM at the Hall 9:00 AM at the Hall Annual Meeting July 19th Wharf Road on Cousins Island The area at the head of the pier is one of the busiest places in our transportation system, especially during the summer. Residents rely on it to drop off and pick up people and supplies, while the shuttle bus may be carrying dozens of passengers trying to catch the ferry or get back to their cars at Route One. When our bus drivers ask vehicles to move, they're often balancing the needs of those passengers on the bus with those of residents using the pier. We ask everyone to share this space with patience and consideration. A few extra moments of cooperation can make a big difference in keeping this critical area safe and moving smoothly for everyone.

Summer Office Hours Monday through Thursday 9:00am-3:30pm Friday from 9am - 1:30pm (207)846-3700 Purchase tickets at CTCFerry.org!
