Fall is roaring in like a lion. As always, we take your safety and the safety of our crews very seriously. The weather for the next several days is not conducive to a comfortable or pleasurable ride. To allow customers as much time as possible to change their plans, we are cancelling departures for Sunday, October 19th, at this time. We will monitor current weather and wave conditions to determine when we make our next departure. I apologize that we cannot provide a better time estimate. We will contact individuals with vehicle reservations to inform them of the cancellation and provide as much information as we have at this time.

Monday 10/20/25 departures will be 8:30 am from Charlevoix and 11:20 am from Beaver Island.
