BIBCO’s Story...
The Beaver Island Boat Company in its present form was established in 1984. The company was formed to return control of the ferry service back to those who lived or owned property on the island.
The Emerald Isle, was designed by Timothy Graul Marine Design in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin and was built in 1997 by Washburn & Doughty Associates, Inc. in East Boothbay, Maine. She is 130 feet in length, 39 feet wide, and draws 8.5 feet with a top speed of 14.5 knots and maximum capacity of 298 passengers, 20 vehicles and one heavy truck and up to 95 tons of freight.
Our other vessel is the “Beaver Islander”. She was built in 1962 by Sturgeon Bay Shipbuilding & Drydock Co. out of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin and purchased new by the Beaver Island Boat Co. She is 95 feet in length, 27 feet wide, and draws 8 feet with a top speed of 13.5 knots and maximum capacity of 200 passengers, 10 vehicles and 40 tons of freight. You can still ride the historic Beaver Islander on most weekends in the summer.
Over the years, the Beaver Island Boat Company has made substantial improvements to our facilities in Charlevoix and on Beaver Island in an effort to make your journey to the Island as effortless as possible. Each year our ferries make approximately 375 round trips to the island, travel over 24,000 miles, transport over 40,000 passengers, carries around 6,500 vehicles and approximately 10,000 tons of freight.
