A ferry ride to Pelee Island is something special. Everything changes the moment you pull away from the dock. The ship cuts through the warm waters of Lake Erie and your cares drift away in her wake. Then, as the island comes into view above the horizon, you know that this is just the beginning...
Known as Canada’s best kept secret, Pelee Island is a destination like no other. With a long history of hospitality, bountiful vineyards, warm sandy beaches, and a beautifully mild climate, Pelee is the perfect island retreat.
Relax above deck while enjoying the sights and sounds of beautiful Lake Erie. Bask in the sun, chat with fellow passengers, and start your trip off right.
Enjoy a quick bite onboard at our snack bar.
