According to the Coast Guard, the threat was called in about 8 a.m. Thursday to the Hancock County 911 line warning of a bomb on The Cat as it prepared to depart for Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.
The passengers were evacuated while the boat was searched, but nothing suspicious was found.
The Cat also provides ferry service between Portland, Maine, to Nova Scotia.
