A new dimension to effortless entertaining.
Whether you want to:
• Experience a soul-lifting vesper service;
• Go down memory lane at one of biggest antique and classic car shows in the country; or
• Tour the Les Cheneaux Channels
Arnold ferries will take you and others who share your passions and interests, on our scheduled, special cruises.
But you may also arrange to spend time on the water with people you want to celebrate a special day, an extraordinary accomplishment or great opportunity. We offer our privately chartered cruises. Entertaining couldn’t be easier when your wedding rehearsal dinner or reception, family celebration or company outing is aboard our ferry. For reservations or more information, contact us.

This place where two great waters meet…where land masses reach but cannot touch…is sacred. No one can look to the horizon at sunset and not have their spirit stir.
