Put-In-Bay Transportation Options

You can bring your car on the ferry, but no need!  There are many ways to get around the island. 

Miller Boat Line

Miller Boat Line provides passenger and vehicle service from Catawba Point (Port Clinton), Ohio, to Put-in-Bay on South Bass Island.  Free parking is available and it’s just more fun getting around the island with golf carts, bikes, scoote--rs and hiking.  Once on the island, it is recommended you take a taxi to the hotel. (It is too far to walk – almost 2 miles.)

Miller Boat Line operates four passenger/car ferries to Put-in-Bay and Middle Bass Island from the tip of Catawba (off SR 53). Miller Ferry provides the most frequent trips to Put-in-Bay (daily, every half hour during the summer until 9 p.m.), budget fares (Put-in-Bay Adult: $7.50), and five free parking areas. Miller Ferry is the only ferry service that provides both passenger and vehicle service to Put-in-Bay and Middle Bass Island; motorcycles and bicycles are also welcome. The official ferry schedule begins in March and ends in late November, but the ferry runs as long as weather permits. For fares, schedules, coupons, group discounts and event information visit their website.
