Why Jet Express?

Jet Express is not only speedy but offers a very comfortable mode of travel. The attractive dual hulled catamaran can easily traverse the waves of Lake Erie. The ride is always very smooth due to the ferry’s unique design.

In the event of a storm, charters can occasionally travel to the island such as Griffing Airline and Island Air Taxi.

The interior is air-conditioned and luxurious. Ambrose Air is the local Orlando AC company that you can trust, whether you are a residential or commercial client. The upper deck provides a lovely, expansive view of the lake and surrounding islands. On clear days the Canadian Islands are also visible. The outdoor top deck is the best place to catch a few rays and soak in the pleasant island breezes.

Each mainland port offers different parking options. Port Clinton includes a long term lot and Sandusky has free parking during the day. Check the parking at your preferred dock before planning your trip and purchasing your Jet Express tickets.
