The CAT is a high-speed catamaran ferryboat that speeds between Bar Harbor ME and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. The fast ferry makes the 3-hour voyage from Bar Harbor four times weekly, and from Yarmouth to Bar Harbor three times weekly, from June to early October. On other days of the week, The CAT speeds between Portland ME and Yarmouth NS, a 5-1/2-hour voyage. You can travel just as a passenger (no car), or you can ship your car. The CAT is a superb vessel with all sorts of comforts and entertainments, including of course comfortable lounges, snack areas, bars and restauants. It's quite a comfortable cruise. Advance reservations are strongly recommended, and are essential if you plan to take your car. In summer 2007, an adult paid US$63, plus US$10 security fee, for a one-way cruise, but a round-trip "day cruise" (you can actually stop over for several days) cost only US$65 round-trip, plus the US$10 security fare for each boarding; total US$85. Children 0 to 5 years travel free, youth 6 to 13 get a discount, as do seniors. It costs about US$130 to ship a car (up to 20 feet in length) one way, fuel surcharge included. Longer cars, trucks and car-and-trailer combinations cost more. Note that a family of two adults (up to 59 years old) and two children (6 to 13), taking a 25-foot-long car or car-and-trailer on a round-trip cruise from Bar Harbor to Yarmouth and back, may pay a total of about US$654, all included.
