Star Line Ferry
Star Line Ferry is the newest ferry boat company serving Mackinac Island in Michigan. They currently run the most daily departures to Mackinac Island.
==History==
Star Line Ferry was started by Tom Pfeiffelmann, Sam McIntire, and others in the late 1970s. The company started off previously as Argosy Boat Line. The company was named Star Line after the 5 original stockholders making up a 5 pointed star. They operated slower ferries including the ''La Salle'' and ''Nicolet'' as well as the ''Treasure Islander'' and ''Flamingo''. In 1979 Star Line brought their first fast ferry, ''Marquette'', to the Island. Over the next few years the old ''La Salle'' and ''Nicolet'' were replaced with sisters to the ''Marquette''. When Arnold Transit Company introduced their catamaran ''Island Express'' in 1987, Star Line responded with ''Radisson'', an 85-foot fast ferry which was modeled after a luxury yacht. She boasted two propellers as the other ferries had, but also had twin hydro-jets for added speed. One hydro pointed out of the water making an incredible plume of water behind the boat. In time the ''La Salle'', ''Nicolet'', and ''Marquette'' added hydro-jets. In 1990 Star Line added ''Cadillac'' and in 1993 added ''Joliet''. These boats were built in the style of the ''Radisson''. In 2005, ''Marquette'' was sold to Davis Park Marine of Patchogue, NY. She was replaced by the larger ''Marquette II''. And in 2006, ''Nicolet'' was sold to Davis Park Marine to repower the ''Joliet''.
