Miller Boat Line

The name "Miller" continues as the corporate name; a salute to the Miller family, our island heritage, and goodwill the company has cultivated over the past century. Our patriarch, friend, and leader Bill Market III passed away in November, 2006. Not a day passes that the Market family does not reflect on the company that their parents nurtured and proudly passed on to their family. Mary Ann Market, well known for her leadership and generosity, passed away in April, 2010. The Market's three children, Julene, Bill and Scott now own and operate the Miller Boat Line.  Today the ferries are equipped with regulation Coast Guard safety, security and fire equipment, all which lend to these priorities: A safe, dependable and enjoyable crossing.  Part of the fascination of the ferry trip is watching the puzzle pieces of passengers, cars, bicycles, commercial trucks, kayaks, pets, boats and trailers, motorcycles, luggage (and most anything!) fill the decks of the ferry. The eighteen minute trip between Put-in-Bay and Catawba allows enough time to chat with fellow residents, check the to-do list, or relax. The Middle Bass route allows a bit more leisure; forty minutes of gazing at the islands, Ohio and Canadian shoreline.
