Fares & Rates
Notice of Fuel Surcharge
Effective October 19th, 2026, a 15% fuel surcharge will be applied to all passenger, vehicle, and freight fares through the end of the season December 19th, 2026.
Fuel costs have risen beyond what the ferry service can absorb. We have worked to hold our rates steady for as long as possible, but this step is now necessary to keep our schedule running reliably and safely.
We understand that this increase will affect every one of our customers, and we do not take that lightly. Your support of the island community and of our service means a great deal to us, and we are grateful for your understanding.
If you have questions about how the surcharge applies to your fare or shipment, please contact our office at 231-547-2311. We look forward to seeing you aboard.
