Our thoughts are with the three officers involved in the recent shooting in Lorian. We pray for their safety and recovery. I also want to personally acknowledge Peter, who previously served as a security officer at Jet Express—your commitment and hard work haven't gone unnoticed. We're grateful for your service and stand united with the community during this difficult time. Stay strong.

It’s and today we’re throwing it back to 1988 — the year four partners launched what would become one of Lake Erie’s most iconic experiences: The Jet Express!

Founded with a mission to create a faster, more innovative ferry service to the Lake Erie islands, the Put-in-Bay Boat Line Company set a new standard in island travel! With late-night departures, multiple Lake Erie destinations, and a commitment to exceptional customer service, the Jet Express quickly earned its reputation as the fastest ferry on the Great Lakes!

✨ Stretch out. Sit back. Take in the lake views — from your seat.
Your island time should be relaxing from the very start. That’s why every Jet Express passenger has a guaranteed seat — inside or outside — so you can ride your way, with the best views on the lake.

And when you arrive, you’re already there — we take you right downtown, so you can step off the boat and straight into the fun.

See you on deck! 🛳️✨

Welcome Aboard the Jet Express!

The Put-in-Bay Boat Line Company (The Jet Express) was founded by four partners in 1988 with the vision of an innovative ferry service to the Lake Erie islands. One that provided late-night passage to Put-in-Bay, outstanding customer service, and one to become the fastest ferry line on the Great Lakes.

The company began operation in the spring of 1989 with a single vessel, a new $3.2 million high-speed catamaran, the M. V. Jet Express. More vessels were added to our fleet over the years, including the Jet Express II (1992), the Jet Express III (2002), and the Jet Express IV (2009.)

The Jet Express has expanded service from just the original Port Clinton to Put-In-Bay route.

We’ve added the mainland ports in Sandusky (2005) and Lorain (2009.)
