Mackinac Island Ferry Company: Your Gateway to Marine Careers

About Us

The decision to rebrand our corporation as the Mackinac Island Ferry Company in 2022 was a deliberate strategy to consolidate our suite of brand assets. This includes the Star Line Mackinac Island Hydro-Jet® Ferry fleet, inaugurated in the 1970s, the esteemed Arnold Line Ferry fleet, which has been operational since 1878, and Mackinac Marine Services (MMS) shipyard, established in 2019. These valuable assets now come together seamlessly under the Mackinac Island Ferry Company banner, amplifying our brand synergy. Our company has a rich heritage dating back to 1878, with the Arnold Line standing as our most enduring asset.
