Nearby Airports?
When planning your trip you have three airport options to consider for reaching the Bass Harbor ferry terminal or private boat to Frenchboro: Bar Harbor Airport, Bangor Airport, and Portland Airport. Bar Harbor is the nearest airport, but it's often pricier and has limited rental car availability. Most travelers prefer Bangor Airport due to its affordability and the presence of standard car rental services. Alternatively, Portland Airport is available, but expect a much longer drive to your destination.
