Mail Boat Run Cruise for 2 on Casco Bay Lines & Overnight Stay for 2 in Ocean View Room with Breakfast at the Chebeague Island Inn

An integral part of island communities, the Mailboat is a true working boat carrying passengers, mail and freight to the islands of Casco Bay - Little Diamond, Great Diamond, Long, Cliff and Chebeague.  As the longest operating service of its kind, this trip is a wonderful way to see the sights of the bay on the Mailboat Cruise.  

Duration: 2.5-3.5 hrs. (times vary based upon route and cargo volume)

Runs: Daily

Casco Bay Lines operates passenger, vehicle and freight service year-round. Casco Bay Lines ensures that passengers have safe, dependable and reliable transportation, and is considered the “lifeline” for the residents of the islands. Casco Bay Lines’ ferries transport nearly one million passengers, 30,000 vehicles and 5,300 tons of freight annually. Casco Bay Lines also delivers the U.S. mail and transports island students to and from Portland.

Overnight Stay for 2 in Ocean View Room with Breakfast at the Chebeague Island Inn

Enjoy an overnight stay at Chebeague Island Inn, one of the few remaining inns that once dotted the Maine coast. The Inn has 21 intimate guest rooms with ocean or garden views. Completely restored in 2004, each room has white walls, white floors and custom Maine art and furnishings so no two rooms are the same. All
have custom queen-sized beds with fluffy down pillows and crisp white Italian hemstitched linens. And so you’re not tempted to stay in bed, there are absolutely no TVs or phones.  Enjoy reading in our Great Room with its vast stone fireplace. Relive your childhood by playing a game of Scrabble. Sip cocktails on our wrap around porch. Toss some bags in a game of corn hole. Enjoy access to a
9-hole course at the Great Chebeague Golf Club. Play tennis. Swim at nearby sandy Hamilton Beach.  Explore the island and cross the sandbar to Little Chebeague. Borrow one of our L.L. Bean bicycles or fishing poles. Dine in our 100-seat restaurant where we offer gourmet dining featuring fresh, local seafood
and meats and island farm produce. The Inn has garnered numerous awards over the last eight years from the Condé Nast Traveler, and in 2016,
it was selected #9 in Top Hotels in New England in addition to being included on its Annual Gold List – a collection of the top 500 hotels in the world. Touted as a “must-experience” food destination by Portland Magazine, the Inn has also been featured in Travel & Leisure, DownEast, Yankee, Saveur, and Maine magazines and is listed in Fodor’s Maine Guide. We’re less than two hours from Boston or 30 minutes from the Portland Jetport, yet you’ll feel like you’re a million miles away. Getting to the Inn is easy by ferry or water taxi from either Portland’s waterfront or from Cousins Island in Yarmouth. Chebeague Island Inn, with its ocean views and spectacular sunsets, offers a magical, elegant, uniquely Maine setting for your vacation pleasure.
