A family line since 1962

Cedar Line started with one wooden ferry, the Mabel C, running mail and milk between Port Cedar and Heron Bay. Three generations later we run two hybrid vessels and carry 240,000 neighbors and visitors a year — but the crossing still smells like cedar and salt.

Our fleet

Cedara (2018, hybrid, 120 passengers + 28 cars) and Heron (2022, hybrid, 150 passengers + 34 cars). Both low-wake, wheelchair accessible, with open upper decks.

Our promise

On-time, kind, and careful with the inlet. 98% on-time in 2025. Crew are year-round locals — ask them for hiking tips on Gull Island.

Crew & values

Led by Captain June Park and Operations Manager Sam Alder. We partner with the Heron Bay Marine Center for shoreline cleanups every spring, and students ride free on field-trip Tuesdays.
