Friendly, efficient people. The line moved quickly. They don't waste any space and know exactly how to fill it. Your passengers may consider exiting the vehicle before its loaded on the ferry. There's a 50% chance they won't be able to open their door during the trip...the sunroof and climbing over seats is still an option though;)

Great ride! Had a great experience. The staff were running the boats faster than the schedule to keep up with demand. Madonna was beautiful!!😍

It's always a beautiful scenic view going to and from the Island. When the water is calm and the winds are low, the crossing can be made quickly and smoothly. When the winds are high and the water gets choppy is when you're in for a fun ride, so you'd better hold on to your hat and be prepared for that inevitable and inordinate pitch and yaw of the boat as it cruises through the waves which will come crashing over bow and stern and onto the deck and the vehicles and sometimes yourself, if you choose to stand outside. If you suffer from motion sickness, good luck, and God-speed to you.

The prices for the ferry ride have gradually increased over the years. We paid about 60 bucks for 2 adults in an SUV, which is noticeably more than we paid the previous year, which I suppose is to be expected given the current circumstance of our economy. The ferry crew can be hit or miss. Some have generally good attitudes and demeanors towards their customers and their jobs, and some are downright crotchety and rude to the point of malicious willful ignorance. So, bear that in mind when dealing with some of these lads and bring a thick skin in case you are on the receiving end of their brooding ill moods.

We've been making this crossing to and from for well over 2 decades and hope to continue making it for 2 more decades to come. Thanks for getting us there and back again relatively safely.

Line workers are all consummate professionals, expeditiously transporting tourists to and from the mainland. The personnel responsible for getting the cars onto and off the ferry were particularly capable, aware, and communicative.

Best boat ride while sitting in my car with my dog. There were very high currents yet it was still comfortable, beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed the birds and horizon. They were running every 30 minutes.

Well organized, on time. Nice viewing area on top. You may want to have a wind breaker or jacket available due to water spray or wind speed.

Beautiful experience .
Cannot express in words .
You can take your car with you to Washington island. They charge $24 for car.
I think it’s worth to take car with you , because the island is big .
There are lots of things to see in the island .Ferry service was very good. They manage everything very professionally . On weekends there are ferries which comes in every 45 minutes.

Giving a five-star rating for the unique and fun experience, despite dealing with the grumpiest old man when purchasing tickets. He literally flung a map at my husband. It was so obnoxious we had to laugh and can only imagine this is NOT his normal job.

Everything else was awesome.

I'm sure it helps that a huge percentage of passengers are on vacation and vacationing people are happy people.

It was fun to be on the upper deck while being transported.
