Lake Express senior vice president Aaron Schultz says they noticed it at the end of July when the Badger went out of service and says their midday trips are sold out for seven of every ten runs a week. The ferry is smaller than the S.S. Badger can only fit 44 cars, 12 motorcycles, 248 people, and no semi trucks or RVs. The Badger has room for 180 vehicles and up to 600 people.
The high-speed car ferry is quicker than the Badger. It makes the trip from Muskegon to Milwaukee in just over two and a half hours compared to the Badger’s about four-hour crossing. The Lake Express recommends passengers book as soon as possible, especially if they are planning to take their vehicle.
