Set sail on Star Line’s new adventure tour starting on June 19 aboard the pirate ferry ship Good Fortune, which will take passengers from the Main Dock #1 in Mackinaw City, Michigan, to Mackinac Island. Pirate attire is encouraged!
The ship is part of Star Line’s fleet that also includes high-speed hydro-jet rooster tail boats and will make the trip to the island five times throughout the day starting at 9:45 a.m during the peak season. From June 19 to August 20, Good Fortune will also run special nightly cruises starting at 6 p.m. that pass underneath the Mackinac Bridge. The adventure tour will feature family friendly attractions, including water cannons for the kids and a bar for the adults. From August 21 to September 6, nightly cruises will begin at 5 p.m. Tickets for the nightly cruise are $20 for adults and $10 for children.
Download the ferry line’s new app, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) and GPS to track when the next ferry will arrive at the dock. One-way piratePASS tickets to or from the island on Good Fortune are $35 for adults (and include a one-way trip to or from on the hydro-jet ferry) and $20 for kids ages 5 to 12.
