Riding a Ferry to Put-in-Bay

The first part of your Put-in-Bay getaway is getting there. Most people take the Miller Ferry from Catawba Island to Put-in-Bay. It provides a half hour scenic route across the channel and also brings vehicles. Miller began operation in 1905, started high-capacity service in 1945, and will launch a brand new ship for the 2019 season! Ther is also a high-speed passenger-only ferry from the mainland over to our island called the Jet Express. It began its Ferry Service in 1989 from Port Clinton, Ohio traveling to Downtown Put-in-Bay. It became known for its reliable, high-seed, and late night service to this lively island. Today, both ferry services service the island and guests are split as to which one they prefer. They leave from the Ports of Port Clinton, Catawba Island, and Sandusky, servicing the Islands of Put-in-Bay (South Bass Island), Middle Bass Island, and Kelleys Island off the north shore of Ohio in Lake Erie.
