Fares & Rates

Please know, that we do not accept passenger reservations, all tickets are on a ‘first come, first served’ basis!


We recommend that passengers arrive at least one hour prior to boat departure especially if parking a vehicle overnight. This will allow time to check in your luggage and freight, as well as purchase passenger tickets and parking permit. The shuttle from the parking area leaves 30 minutes before boat departure time. A one-way valet service is available for $25 if you arrive after the last shuttle has run. There is no overnight parking at our dock facility. The trip to Beaver Island takes a little over 2 hours to complete the 32-mile route. Passengers must be on board 10 minutes prior to departure.

Please note that if you have a reservation to bring your vehicle on the ferry, your check in time is 90 minutes prior to boat departure.
