If you have time to reach out to the National Park Service, our representatives or senators, please do so. We have been in business for 107 years. We do not want this to be the end of Manitou Island Transit!

107-year Manitou Island Transit service can’t survive extended closure, say owners.

Weather-wise, Fishtown felt a bit like the final day of March today instead of the last day of January. ☀️⛴️ But we still have nearly four full months to go before the Mishe-Mokwa sets sail for our 2024 season. 💫 It’s never too early, however, to reserve your space aboard as you make your summer travel plans. 🌲🏕️
