Burnt Coat Harbor Hand Boat Ramp

Burnt Coat Harbor Hand Boat Ramp on Swans Island offers a 20-foot wide hard-surfaced ramp for trailered boats accessing this well-protected tidal harbor. The ramp is a part-tide facility, meaning watercraft can only launch/recover during certain tide levels.

The harbor is accessible only by ferry or boat from Mount Desert Island and features marine services including fuel (gas and diesel) available from the Swans Island Fisherman's Co-op, making it a popular stopover for mariners and recreational boaters.
