SHEPLER'S FLEET TRADING CARDS
We're in our Limited Edition Era

Launched on our 79th Anniversary, Shepler's Ferry introduced Fleet Trading Cards as an exclusive, limited edition campaign! With only 1,400 cards in circulation, this secretive and thrilling program invites you to ask your captain if they have any trading cards—they are the only cast members entrusted with the knowledge and distribution of these special items, so be sure to keep it under wraps. Hidden among the vessel cards are seven winning cards, and if you have one, bring it to Shepler's Business Office in Mackinaw City to redeem your prize of two non-expiring VIP tickets for your next trip to Mackinac Island!

The Welcome

The First modern fast boat on the Straits of Mackinac. She is aesthetically unchanged since 1969 other than an engine replacement.

Felicity

Per the Captains, Felicity is the easiest to steer back on course if you've veered off track in the water. However, she's also the most noticeable when a mistake has been made.

The Hope

In 2009, Moran Iron Works of Onaway cut the aft deck off The Hope and rebuilt it with an additional 17' to accommodate brand new 16V MTU engines and other modifications.

Wyandot

Wyandot's cabin was the first in our fleet to be soundproofed to help control ambient noise in the winter of 2022.

Capt. Shepler

Capt. Shepler was named after the co-founder of Shepler's Mackinac Island Ferry - Willian Howard Shepler, or Cap to all who knew him.

Miss Margy

The Queen of our fleet and named after Margret Shepler Cap's wife. Miss Margy is subsequently the largest vessel in our fleet.

William Richard

The newest vessel added to our fleet and the only vessel that is jet driven. Also has the first commercial use of the Hamilton Jet AVX control system.
