Last of it's kind in the US. One of the last in the World. Take a ride across Lake Michigan without the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Got to get them prices down! I live in Traverse City would love to go to Wisconsin and Beyond but it's just too darned expensive! Chitra deep reduce your fees by at least 1/3 to attract more people.

it is a nice, relaxing way to cross upper Lake Michigan, a good way to get from anywhere west of Chicago to the Mackinac /Muskegon area without dealing with Chicago traffic.
