"We started back in 1945 when my Dad first bought a speed boat to take passengers across the Straits. I remember that boat. I was 14 at the time and it marked the point at which people didn't have to wait 40 minutes to get to the island.

We set new standards for speed, comfort, and convenience. And we've never looked back.

Today, it's my two sons and daughter with a very dedicated corps of service professionals who are setting even higher standards.

I think Dad would be pleased. And I'm certain you will be, too."

- Capt. Bill Shepler
