SHEPLER'S MACKINAC ISLAND FERRY ™

In the spring of 1945, Captain William H. Shepler returned to his birthplace, Mackinaw. He was struck by the potential of the area, specifically transporting people to and from the Island. He started small, opening a snack bar for passengers waiting for the ferry and soon discovered a need for better ferry service to Mackinac Island. Capt. Shepler wanted to offer distinctive service and class, as well as, share the beauty of the area. He dreamed of fast, efficient and modern ferry service that would add to and enhance the Mackinac Island experience... You may have ridden on our boats going to the Island, but do you know the whole story of how the company was founded and how we have survived throughout the years?... Shepler's offers the fastest ride to Mackinac Island and is the best cruise line for weddings and charters in the Great Lakes.
