Interesting , As the only Pedestrian only Service to MI , They don't act like it. The customer service is excellent , a short trip across to MI is the start of your excellent time. often when there is no other choice - Service is Lacking But not in this case. Regards Kenny

Great efficient transport to Maggie and back

Published on Jan, 2025

The ferry is very efficient the staff are professional and nice. Please make sure you know which ferry you go on, as there is another ferry which also takes cars that’s located on another part of the pier - needs a long walk to get over to the other side.
