The Only Way To Put-in-Bay with a vehicle!

During peak summer season Put-in-Bay trips begin as early as 6:30 am and depart Catawba as late as 9:30 pm with trips every half hour. Quite a change from 1946 when ferries departed for only three trips from Catawba. Miller Boat Line is the only scheduled ferry service to Middle Bass Island from the mainland.

Miller Boat Line continues to add services and provide values for its customers: Budget-friendly fares, season passes to Put-in-Bay and Middle Bass, frequent floater tickets, season parking, group and student fares, free parking and island packages. Therefore, they proudly support several non-profit and community organizations and events on Put-in-Bay and neighboring mainland communities. Miller Boat Line is the proud sponsor of the tall ship “Niagara” for the Battle of Lake Erie Bicentennial Celebration 2013.

The ferry service operates because of the devotion of all who work there; the people that sell car and passenger tickets, gift shop/information ladies, dock personnel, freight handlers, women that run the office operations and answer the phones, security, Captains, diligent deck hands and maintenance men sent to repair things at a moment’s notice. Furthermore, about 95 five people are employed by Miller Boat Line during peak season. They each lend to the boat line’s reputation of being the most frequently traveled and largest ferry service on Lake Erie.
