My wife and I are considering a trip to Mackinac Island in late June. We would be coming from Maryland by way of flying in to Grand Rapids. Do your boats ever sell out of space? On my day of departure, I need to be confident that I can get on your merry and allow for enough drive time back to Grand Rapids to make my flight. Any suggestions???

My wife & I are planning a road trip to Door County, WI and Mackinac Island, MI in June and have a few questions. First, which is the better location from which to engage the ferry? St. Ignace or Mackinac City. Second, in addition to luggage & bicycles, is it possible to also transport two sets of golf clubs on the ferry? If yes, what is the cost of transporting the golf clubs? Third, what options are available to transport the luggage, bicycles & golf clubs to our lodging destination on Mackinac Island?
Hi there Lawrence. Yes to the golf clubs. Departure destination is 100% your choice – St. Ignace and Mackinaw City both offer daily departures. Please go ahead and email us at info@sheplersferry.com to speak with our guest services team on specifics! Thanks for choosing to Ride Sheplers and we look forward to hearing from you with details about your trip.
