[1] Star Line Mackinac Island Ferry Company was started by Tom Pfeiffelmann, Sam McIntire, and others in the late 1970s.
This acquisition made Star Line Mackinac Island's oldest and largest ferry fleet.
Star Line also operates a pleasure cruise on Friday and Saturday evenings from Mackinaw City and St. Ignace, respectively, during the summer months.
In 2019, Star Line added MV Good Fortune pirate ship and offers trips to Mackinac Island as well as daily cruises aboard it during the summer months.
For 2023, the company chose to emphasize their new name, only including "Formerly Star Line" in smaller text alongside its logo.
