Mackinac Island Ferry Company Sold

Hoffmann Family of Companies (HF Companies), a U.S.-based, family-owned private equity firm, has acquired Mackinac Island Ferry Company. This acquisition expands Hoffmann Marine’s U.S. fleet to 46 vessels across seven states, and it follows the company’s recent “Sip n’ Sail” purchase in May 2024, along with the Shepler’s Ferry, St. Ignace News and the Mackinac Island Town Crier.

“Joining the Hoffmann Family of Companies heralds a new era for Mackinac Island Ferry Company,” says Jerry Fetty, CEO of Mackinac Island Ferry Company. “Our diverse fleet, including Hydro-Jet ferries, catamarans, classic ferries and pirate ship, will complement their marine division while maintaining our unique identity. We are optimistic about the future, dedicated to maintaining our high standards of service, contributing to the thriving Mackinac Island community and continuing to invest in our future.”
