Rockland and a high-speed ferry to Bass, SW, NE, or Bar Harbor might be a great combination in the summer -- bring car-free people to Mt. Desert Island, which now has really great bus service (especially great for an outdoors destination that's a collection of small towns). Make Boston-Mt. Desert easy and you would probably either attract a bunch of no-car people from Boston, Cambridge, Brookline, etc. who never went before and who the island can easily handle if they don't bring cars OR you convince some people who have always driven to go car-free instead.
